At 10:30 this morning, Edie and I walked in to the local Petsmart for our second day of puppy kindergarten. Armed with my clicker and bag of pup treats, we were ready for anything…well, except for the mob of people that descended upon little Edie right as we walked it. About 5 people, a family of 3 and two workers, rushed us as soon as we walked in, not even 5 feet past the door way. After about ten minutes of letting them love on my pup, I tried to make my way in the store and oh, wait…more people. I got stopped at least 10 times, while waiting for class to start. It was like Britney swarmed by paparazzi, except no cameras and Edie has better hair.

Then comes up a little baby girl, toddling up to Edie and calling her a “baby” and I pick up my pup, so she can pet her and then I feel wet.

Pupperoo got scared of the baby and took it out on my pants.

Thankfully, it wasn’t a lot. Off we went to the bathroom and I cleaned up as best as I could. Now I’m ready to sit in class for an hour with a big wet mark on my thigh. Awesome. I practically ran from the bathroom across the store to the training area, shouting, “Thanks!” to the “OMG she’s so cute!”s as I pushed past trying to the avoid the “can I pet her?”s, because I was not trying to get peed on again.

New puppies are killer on my wardrobe.

Edie is quite smart and picks up new things quick. The other puppies are doing great too. There is a Chow Chow named Tater Tot, a Miniature Australian Shepard named Grace and a German Shepard mix named Faith. Faith really isn’t a puppy and is HUGE. I’m not really sure why she is in our puppy class, as it is only until 9 months old but whatever. I’m really looking forward to it each week now. Grace and Edie are the best of friends and would play all class if we let them. I’m going to try to get it on video next week. Tater Tot and Faith are a little bigger and want to play too, but always end up scaring the little ones.

Here is Tater Tot, Edie’s classmate. Cute, isn’t she?

Tater Tot is a GREAT doggie name.

SO sorry the baby peed on you. My puppy still pees on me sometimes, It’s still a really EWWWW moment! Tater Tot is an adorable name for a puppy.

Calvin is no better with attention. He just sinks low to the ground and trembles until people back away slowly. She’ll get better with the attention but really…the paparazzi need to back off a bit. Ask them to hold on and toss a couple treats toward their feet. Make sure the people ignore Edie while she takes them and click. Then she’ll get more used to being around strangers.

Larissa and Vanessa – It totally suits her too!

Ben – She usually is pretty good with new people, but I think that it was just too many people at once and the baby pushed her over the edge. My little Edie got way too overwhelmed. I need to pay closer attention to her behavior and when it seems like it’s getting to be too much, pup and I will have to retreat.

I still can’t get over how fricking adorable your pup is!

Seriously, Jamie (I use that word constantly to but always think i mean it at the time!) Edie is among the very cutest puppies I’ve ever seen. I mean wow. Can she come on the cupcake crawl?

I agree with TKTC. Edie should join us on the cupcake crawl. No peeing allowed though.

OMG, that blows! What can you do? She’s famous!

Puppy kindergarten? That concept is so cute it makes me wish I liked dogs!

oh dang, that puppy is too cute for it’s own good.

i wish my mum can let me have those puppies!!

Ah! Stop with the cute dog pictures or I’m seriously just going to run out and buy one on impulse…

For a long time I’ve been thinking- okay so when would be a good time to get a puppy? And responsibly I know I need to wait ’til I have more money and time and all that. But everytime I come to your blog and see a puppy post? I change my mind and decide to get one the next day.
So thanks for torturing me
But really. Adorable. As well as Tater Tot!

Tater Tot is so cute!

But wait..Im new here and I need a picture of your puppy!!

We should have done some traning with our little girl, Lola. Maybe we still will because she is crazy nuts when people come over to visit.

Tater Tot really is adorable. And you’re definitely right about Edie – her hair is WAY more fab than Brit. Way.

Tater Tot!! How adorable! I love animals named after food!

I want a puppy so badly! They are too cute but hard to train! I don’t know if I’m ready for the pee on my pants yet, either.

Aww! Sucks about the pee, but you can’t tell me you don’t understand her popularity!

When we took Badass out in public as a puppy, people fawned all over him. It really broke his heart when he got big and people weren’t as friendly. One day we had him out for Mexican food, and some kids were petting on him and playing with him, and he was lovin’ it, and the Dad went nuts and yelled at them and made them get away from Badass and I thanked him for making my poor dog think *HE* had done something wrong, but then WH told me to shuttup-that guy is bigger than me.

Tater Tot is a doll. But looks like she’s about to attack. I really hope not.

you’re just lucky jack wasn’t there.

I loved this post and I want to be a puppy papparazzi! And Tator T is ador-a-ble!!

Aww! Tater Tot is adorable!
