We took Gibbs to a cookout on Friday night with friends from work. There he got to meet 5 other dogs and about 15 people. What a perfect time for socialization, since we just had him to the vet for his second distemper on Friday, too. The fun didn't stop there...
Saturday off to the camper to meet Mike's parents and extended family. Who knew tenting with a puppy could be so easy? We set up a small soft-sided crate for Gibbs during the night. It was perfect. 12 dogs and many, many people later... Gibbs was a tired boy and slept through the night. He smelled lots of smells, watched some ducks, and mooched for fire-food.
Sunday and Monday we were off to see my parents, grandparents, and extended family for the holiday. Gibbs also got to meet my parent's goldens, Casey & Bea, who weren't too interested in our little wild child. My aunt and uncle's golden, Zoe, thought Gibbs was AWESOME and chased him through the yard. They had a great time! Not to mention that Zoe's 3 human boys were a bunch of fun to play with.
Needless to say, Gibbs is still recovering from his BIG weekend of dogs, people, and FUN! See, socializing your dog is easy... and it is just as enjoyable for the people, too.
Tomorrow we observe our first puppy class and then we may begin at the Thursday class. I'm anxious to see what Gibbs does. He's very smart... he knows sit, down, stand, shake, bang, and we're in the process of learning roll over and twist. He will also sit and wait for us to go through the door first. So far, so good.... until adolescence hits.
Gibbs' human,
Melissa
