Wallace, Then and Now

Living with his humans for three months, Wallace has grown from a 10-pound baby to a 32+-pound young dog. Understand: he's still not finished, but after graduating from two beginner obedience courses, having endless walks and experiences with dogs and people, he is showing what a great friend and family member he will be.
Three months old: first look at the new back yard

Six months: what's the holdup? It's time to get the newspaper.

Wallace and Wrenny: Best Friends


The wonderful Wrenny has been back, spending six weeks here at Camp Grandmom. She and Wallace formed an instant and close bond, and she seems to have just as much puppy-energy as he does, as well as ideas for many kinds of doggy fun that were new to him:
Look, little guy, you are supposed to try to get this thing away from me, see? You can chase me, and then I'll chase you.....Most popular sport by far: World Dog Wrestling
A demonstration in the proper use of a wading pool
...and doing paperwork.
Refining the art of the morning nap
...and the afternoon nap
...and the evening nap

Wallace Graduates

Wallace collected his first diploma in beginner obedience class. He successfully demonstrated sit, down, stay, wait, come, and leave it (well.....) His classmate's intent pose shows just how important it is for a puppy to be well-behaved!
