The fun in raising a puppy...

Thanks for the update! That must be a fantastic environment for socializing, has to be a ton of people around.

It's good that he has that opportunity, to experience so many "scary" things in a positive way.

Thankfully, he likes food... a saving grace! And though he may be unsure about people he is NOT in the least bit "fear-aggressive." He is also INCREDIBLY handsome - just stunning - even as a youngster, so people really do want to socialize him. He is so pretty, people just want to look at him. I think his beauty is a blessing in that regard. People are so much more willing to help out an attractive dog - hoping that it will bring him out of his shell...

OK - raising a puppy is not always so much fun. I have a socialization class Thursday nights and of course, Luna and Pongo are GREAT in the class... well, the property owner had to have the septic tank pumped, and the workers left a bunch of STUFF that had been in the tank backing it up out on the grass - supposedly to show the landlord... well, wouldn't you know - Pongo just HAD to ROLL IN IT. He proudly came running around the side of the house - completely gooey black and smelling like the septic tank. After spotting me, he turned around and went back to roll some more - I had to literally pull him up out of the CRAP.
So another bath for Pongo (and me)... Aye.
