One of our raiser's unexpectedly needed to leave the country to care for her sick mother-in-law in Hong Kong and as a result, the pup she is raising, Persia, has been getting shuttled around to various raisers and sitters. For a brief four day period, Persia came to stay with me. Now, I thought how hard could one more dog be, but to be honest, I think this experience has taught me that three dogs is enough! :)
Persia is a perfectly lovely dog who goes in for training in January. Josie and Persia got along great, although initially they seemed to think that Persia's crate was the best location in which to play.
Occasionally Dexter even joined in to play with the two labs.
A little posing...
Even though four dogs is a lot, I invited Julia, who is sitting for GEB pup China over Thanksgiving, over for a play session with the dogs. It was not as crazy as I had predicted and we even got all the labs for sit nice for a photo.
On Persia's last night with me, I decided to play around with some Christmas hats I had purchased (which will hopefully be used for my Christmas card pictures this year!). The dogs were not amused but I was so it was all worth it!
Josie got some much needed playtime with fellow NYC pup, Freida, who is being raised by a girl named Elizabeth (a first time raiser). When Freida was chosen for our region by our region manager, Rachel, I scolded her for choosing a puppy whose name was so close to Frito's. And sure enough, while I had Freida at my house for a few hours, a few Frito's slipped out, but I do not think Freida minded!
