Clary at 12 weeks.

Clary has been doing pretty well around here. She has taken the first steps to learning the dogie door to follow our other doodles outdoors. She is still unsure about the 'snap' that it makes but one step at a time. 

She has become very, very good about going 'Night, Night' at 10 pm on the dot without a whimper and is now enjoying a larger crate as well. Golly, she is growing like crrazy!  :+)

Last Sunday, I took her to Petco to their puppy social and Clary was quite confident!  I was so surprised and proud when she said to a larger Shepherd pup 'Stop bumping me, you are too rough'! This Sunday, I am taking her to the Kennebunk Shelter Puppy Social Hour so she meets other new pups of various breeds and sizes.  Exposing Clary to different pups will help her learn dog language as well as build her confidence.  It will also teach her some manners and most of all, learn to cope with other dogs for the future.  It doesn't hurt that it tires her out for a nice long nap when she is back home!

Clary and I were both beyond sad that the two potential guardian home candidates had to back out due to poor timing.  Hopefully, they will consider being guardian candidates when their lives are more settled.  Still looking for a family who would like to be the guardians for this spunky girl. She really likes to play, so a fenced yard and a happy go lucky canine friend would be such a bonus!

I expect Clary to be about 27 or so pounds and 17 inches tall. She has a very wavy fleece non-shedding coat that is soft and silky.  Loves belly rubs and is very funny to watch when something on t.v. catches her eye while snuggling on the couch with me.

She was 'tasting' a pine cone here.

I LOVE her head tilts!!!
