Nicole and I went out once to the cemetery to draw winter trees from inside the comfort of the car.
Truman and Pippin came along, and sat quietly in the back seat for an hour while we drew.
In between rain showers, we've gotten out to the local parks:
At Meadowbrook Pond Park there were some Hooded Mergansers, one of my favorites.
Pippin doesn't care much for the stroller, and he walks well on a leash.
But the stroller is handy in congested areas, so he'll have to get used to it. Here we are on the UW campus:
Where we visited with folks, including these office workers who could not get enough of the puppy:
Here we are taking a rest break--I love their expressive faces. Truman: Why must I put up with this little scamp? Pip: I love being a scamp!
Also this week, Pip got to meet Winston and Chloe, who were both very well-behaved towards him.
Pippin was very curious about the hole Winston and Truman were digging.
Here he is inviting Chloe to join him on the sofa. Chloe is not too sure about that.
But she did eventually get up there.
We also visited Lyons Creek Watershed park in Lake Forest Park:
And we stopped in at Mud Bay pet supply afterwards.
On Saturday, we were all invited to a Christmas party at Winston and Chloe's home. Five hours, ten people, four dogs, fun and food and games...it was pretty crazy. Pip did really well -- he played a bit (and tried to eat the wrapping paper), he got fondled by everyone there, and he slept a lot. And he went potty outside!
This coming week he gets to visit my vet for the first time. He had his first vaccinations at the breeder's vet, and is due for his second ones. Then on Friday we'll be going on another sketch outing where I'll get to find out how well he does in the stroller instead of the car (we'll be at Swanson's Nursery with the Seattle Urban Sketch group). I'd better bring plenty of treats!
