Brady at 16.5 weeks

Brady is pictured here at 16.5 weeks.  He is growing up nicely.  He has begun an open/utility class for puppies.  All the exercises are games to him at this point.  Class if fun for both of  us.  He also goes to a small dog play group on Fridays.  There he has met and played with dogs of all ages and many different breeds.  This is great socialization for him.  He goes tracking once a week.  He is doing long serpentines-about 100 or more yards.  He puts his nose to the ground and doesn't leave the tracklayer's path.  He loves this activity.  This puppy is lots of fun.
Today, Dec. 18, 2010 is Great Grandma Mackie's 13th birthday.  She got special treats from our good friend, Pat.  Mackie loves Pat's pumpkin biscotti.  Pat makes them every year just for Mackie.  When Pat came in with the biscotti, Mackie squealed, smiled and gave Pat the big thank you greeting.
We've changed the name of the blog from Monumental Puppies to Monumtental Dalmatians 2011--yes a bit early, but the New Year will be here before you know it.  We are looking forward to all we will be doing with the dogs in 2011.
