The morning started off loudly, with a yappy puppy in a crate. So we took him out and played with him for a bit, but he decided he wanted to investigate the cat who was walking by. Man, that could've been a disaster! But Orent did so well. We held him back so he wouldn't chase Robot the cat, and Robot just sat there and looked at him funny. Then they parted ways. All around, a good first meeting between a dog who was not on a leash and my furry cat!
Then, we took Orent to the Clark Park farmer's market, where he met lots of dogs and all kinds of people. He did really well. Mostly, he wanted to chew on everything - dirt, grass, mulch, tree seed pods, ears of corn... basically whatever was within 5 feet of him. He even wanted to drink my iced coffee, which of course is totally against the rules because coffee is toxic to dogs. He played with toddlers who stuck their hands in his food and kids on skateboards and puppies and other dogs. When one dog borrowed his squeaky toy, Orent just sat there. He's not even a little bit possessive! Best of all, he got to meet the Cupcake Lady, after staring longingly at her truck.

It was so hot! Mostly Orent just sat on the sidewalk and panted. But he did meet some new people and new dogs. Nothing phases this puppy - even a dog barking at him! He did, however, manage to knock his water bowl all over and make a huge mess to play in. Everyone thought it was cute.
He even got to play with apron strings, as long as he didn't tug - and he didn't! I am constantly amazed at how chill and relaxed the puppy is.

I think I just might just love this dog!
All but the first photo in this blog were by me, Max. Sometimes Kaytee and I switch jobs I guess.
ReplyDeleteOrent seems like he's part pig. Every time he gets a water bowl outside, he makes a mudpit!
