...means "Puppy Honeydew" in Swedish (or at least that is what I learned on the Google). :)
Tonight our puppy club social event was a trip to IKEA. We had to wander through the store to discover answers to hidden questions (like how to say "berry" in Swedish, etc.). It was a great place to visit with the pups because they have so many little rooms set up that it was like walking the dogs into 15 different homes (bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, etc.).
Honeydew was supposed to go home from IKEA with another family, and their dog "Leo" was going to come with us for a few days. We do these puppy trades every so often so the dogs learn to behave with new people and get different experiences.
3 of the pups in our club, including Leo, were supposed to go back to the Guide Dogs campus to begin formal training on the 20th of this month, but tonight Leo's mom learned that he needs to go back this Sunday instead (they had a spot open up at the last moment). So, we decided not to do the swap so that Leo's mom can spend these last few days with him. Honeydew is stuck with us for now, the poor girl.
Honeydew is going to be 1 year old soon (March 18)! Tonight we got the a-okay to allow her to sleep on a dog bed on the floor by our bed. The Dew REALLY wants to sleep on a bed instead of her kennel. She often runs downstairs to get into one of the dog beds when she knows it is time to turn in for the night - and then gives us this pathetic "Pleeeease can I sleep here? look at what a good girl I am." So, to celebrate this new development we went and got her a new dog bed on our way home from IKEA. Tonight she gets to sleep in the big girl bed...because, as much as we hate to admit it...she is getting to be a big girl now.
Pictures are from our tour through IKEA.
