Sparrow had a busy month, full of parties, training, a Walk n Talk (8-month assessment), and craft fairs. Sparrow went to the mall to meet Chelsea and Krista for her walk and talk. She got to walk all over the mall, with all the Christmas decorations and Santa, and then to two parks to see how she reacted to different things. She had a blast. She also went to craft fairs where there were many breakable pottery items etc, and was so well-behaved and calm. She also went out a lot to hear live music at various venues. People are getting to know her and they even brought Christmas treats for her because all the humans got treats!Β 

She had a big Christmas dinner at a Chinese restaurant and the servers were surprised (and happy!) to see her come out from under the table at the end of the night. Sparrow is wonderful at public venues and is fun to take out. She also had a giant friend (a very big golden) come and stay for a few nights and she got quite a crush on him. Poor Sparrow had to sleep for two days after he left. She also had a great time at the PADS Christmas party! After that, her raisers had to sleep for two days…
