Dr Marm never without my Nikon!

Riley Graduates!

At least there is no graduation gown!
By the grace of goodness, Sir Riley of Carmichael completed Puppy Education at our local Petsmart.

How long do I have to wear this?

This course was 8-weeks long and probably a good thing.  Petsmart just changed their classes to be 6 weeks.  Riley was a stubborn little dear and didn’t sit until week 6!  (Might have been 5–but not by much!)
He started off at 4 pounds and 4 ounces…now is at 6 pounds and 7 ounces–already bigger than Roxie, my Cairn Terrier.
A few moments from class…
First Class… 
Don’t tell her dog, she’s lovin’ on Riley!

Shared this pic and the last one in a previous blog of his, but seems appropriate to revisit! 

Will sit for treats–FINALLY!
I really had forgotten how much work and love a puppy brings into your home.  Lucky to have this cute little one.  Intermediate Class starts next week.  Roxie who is 8 will also be attending.  Hoping they both will work for treats and graduate after 6 sessions!
My favorite Riley pic–not in the Dog House, but in the Cat Tower.  Yes, he still plays with cat toys too…

Yes, I did get in here by myself!

Certain there will be more tales to tell and share:)
