Another Developmental Milestone

Gretchen ran out to the store, leaving Ruby out of her kennel downstairs. She's not yet housebroken, but the first floor is reasonably well puppy-proofed, so nothing too bad could happen.

Turns out Ruby has now figured out how to climb the stairs to the second floor, as I discovered when a very excited puppy showed up in my office. After she investigated the entire second floor, I picked her up, carried her back downstairs, gave her a (declined) chance to potty outside, and put her back in her kennel.

I feel guilty about this, but the second floor is nothing resembling puppy-proofed.

Growing up

They grow up so fast, don't they!

I'm sure Ruby was very proud to show off her new"est" talent.

My parents' puppy, who doesn't spend as much time inside as she probably should, is good enough at getting over gates that they now have to double up on them.

She has, however, settled down noticeably since we arrived. But, both Tara and I are staying out of the kitchen when she's in since we're a distraction.
