We have to come up with a call name, but her registered name is Alice. So I'll use it for now.
Today the last puppy went to his new home and it was just us. Now that I don't have to worry about all the other puppies, I will take her out even though the standard vet advice is to wait.
We drove about 10 min to a farm, where all three dogs ran in a hay field filled with blooming dandelions. Luna's white legs are completely yellow now.
I was a bit worried about Alice, she's quite a character and what if she decides to take off..?
I fit her with a new collar and attached a brass name plate to it.
But I worried for nothing, she stayed withing 30 ft of my feet. I talked to her and whistled encouraging to follow me around. This way she'll get used to respond to my voice and whistles.
On the way back I stopped in the bank for a few minutes. At home when I opened her crate there was some vomit and she was a bit down. Oh well, she'll get used to it. She didn't want to eat lunch and is sleeping in her crate now. I am sure she misses her litter mates.

I took Axel to the club to walk with Zoe, Lily and Arrow. I carried him about half way, put him down and he walked the rest of the way back on a check cord. He's also been indroduced to all our neighbour's kids and loves them. You guys did it right.
