Well, Abbey graduated "puppy kindergarten" last Sunday and I've attached a video of her doing sit, lay down, play dead, leave it and stay. She is pretty good at all of them and we keep re-enforcing them during her walks and at night. The one skill she hasn't got the hang of yet is "come" and that is part of her "single minded focus" as a hound, plus I think she just likes ignoring us for her pursuit of what ever the "sniffer" is telling her. She is starting to get her "big girl" teeth and is losing the puppy fur, especially on her back and it looks like she has a "racing stripe" down her back, but she will look wonderful when her "big girl" fur coats in. We had her at her "puppy sitter" for two days and an overnight as a trial run before our 2 week trip to Alaska. Of course I went to go pick Abbey up and she basically said "Hi, Dad, can I stay", guess that was no issue for her. Terry (the puppy sitter) just loved Abbey. Enjoy the short video and as soon as Clara gets me the current pictures, I'll post those too (later).
