Parsley Jean

Parsley had her first day of doggie daycare this week! We had a 'meet and greet' last Friday at The Bark Zone. It didn't go the greatest, that's for sure. She's been so snippy with other dogs lately that we decided we need to fix it right now. Jacquie said dogs can sometimes change their social skills around the age of 2 so it's best to nip it in the butt before it gets really bad. So at the meet and greet, she snapped at every dog there. I was really worried she wouldn't be able to attend daycare. However, after fifteen minutes or so, she calmed down and was exploring the building. So Joey, the owner, said we could do a trial run yesterday. So I brought her in and stuck around 10 minutes or so. Just long enough to see her snap at a boston, a giant black lab, a corgi, and another beagle. She did start to calm down so I left. On my way out, a HUGE German Shepard was walking in and I just had an awful feeling Parsley was going to snap at him and get hurt. As the day went on, Joey emailed me and let me know that Parsley was only sassy for the first few minutes until everybody got there. Then for the rest of the day she was great. She played and wrestled and ran around and was fabulous. So she passed!! Yay!!!! AND she's super tuckered out still, 24 hours later. (as you can see from the picture) She'll be going to doggie daycare once a week, to get some social activity and exercise in her. Other doggie daycares have webcams but Bark Zone doesn't yet.. hopefully soon! When they do, I'll include a link so you guys can watch her play with her buddies on Tuesdays! She made a ton of new friends and absolutely loves it! Here is her new BFF list: (besides Bruno, Mack & Barkley, of course!)

-Maggie (beagle)

-Molly (chocolate lab)

-Casey (corgi)

-Yager (black lab)

-Lola (Boston terrier... a red Boston terrier... she's really cool looking! Kind of like this picture, only even more red!)

So that's really exciting! I think she and Lola will be pretty close. There was a great dane puppy on Friday that she was really interested in, so I bet she'll get close with her too.

It's exciting. I know Mack & Barkley will love it when they get to play with a less fussy Parsley!

I can't wait until May Day so we can make her new doggie friends some May Day baskets! Ooo... I bet they'll want St. Patty's Day treats!!! She'll need to wear a new green collar too...

So that's my PJ update.... she's good... she's tuckered out and snuggling with her daddy right now. CUTE!

I'll post more pics later... hopefully I'll be able to get some pics of doggie daycare!

Oooo... I forgot to mention the new addition to the family!!!!!!!

Okay, no babies... but I'm deciding between mice or frogs!!!! I'll keep you posted on the new pets... :)
