Saturday we went for two little walks and then vets - the walks mostly to practice his recall :) then mummy mowed the lawn so Merlin didn't have to pee in a jungle any longer!
Then Sunday, we had a pretty relaxed day, but focused on some training :) Merlin now knows, sit, down, paw, spin, stay, leave, drop (he knows drop really well when he wants to!) and probably come others than you don't really think about but he'd know! Oh and we had a great time with a toy we brought that makes lots of doggy friendly bubbles! (of course, he still got his little walk as well!)
Monday we went to a dog show (I forgot my camera) and we met lots and lots and lots of whippets, including a lovely one that looked quite like Merlin named Tom, but Tom was 5, so it was like meeting a future Merlin! We met lots of other breeds of dogs and everyone commented on 1. Merlin's colour 2. How calm he is.
We watched the fly ball and after trying twice to run along side the dogs, he gave up, laid down and just watched it. Now for 15 weeks old, I'm impressed!
Then on Tuesday we went on another two little walks, again to practice his recall, and then in the evening we met about 5 Shih Tzu's who all came running into the field to play with Merles, and so Merlin had the best time ever, but even the one time went a little too far while playing and I called him back he came running back, dispite the fact he was having a great time with all the other dogs.
I have to say, although we are stilling having a few problems with leaving him on his own, overall, especially with people, he is a well rounded, very socialised, happy dog! I couldn't be prouder of him, especially despite the first weeks being almost traumatic!
Now for some pics :D
