24 Ollies 'Til Christmas
Saturday, December 1, 2018
You may recall our Merry Merwin Christmas Countdowns. If you don't know to what I refer, you neglected to experience the true epitome of my crazy dog lady status. But alas, the opportunity has not passed you by. If we had Merry Merwins, you bet your bottom dollar we're going to have Jolly Ollies. Duh. While Ollie the pup isn't quite as easy to capture on camera as Merwin, I think it will be okay. We will persevere in this season of perpetual hope.
We'll start with one of the very first photos of Ollie I received from his foster mom before we had actually met him and back when his name was Charles. Should've known what we were in for based on his behavior in this gem.

Puppy Life
Wednesday, September 19, 2018
Holy catfish! Puppy life has been wild. For the most part, this little guy needs constant supervision or he'll nibble and bite on all of our wood furniture. It has been a challenge to balance my work from home life (check out the new biz!) with caring for the doggy life. We're obviously not parents so it has been a surprising adjustment. Actually, I have no clue how parents of actual children survive since I imagine this is only tiny fraction of what that experience is like. More power to you, parents!
Anyway, we've been attending a puppy training class at It's A Dog's World in York, Maine. They're amazing. Each week we learn a few new tricks and tips to try at home and it has been helpful to have that guidance. They also have a day care facility and after Ollie's "interview," we're excited for him to start attending tomorrow. It will give me some space a few days a week and will also get him some great socialization with other dogs as well as enforcement of those tricks he's learning during class.
Of course, though, he is adorable. Duh.
