Windy's socialization outing
💨 Windy's socialization adventure yesterday! We went to JOANN Fabric and Craft Stores yesterday, and he was such a good boy! We practiced training, made some new friends, and had a lot of new people experiences. Windy was totally unphased by a new place, new people, a wheelchair, an electric scooter, and lots of noises! He is a SDIT from our Rain x Zippo litter!

Windy, service dog prospect, ran some errands with us and had a great time! He waited patiently in like, greeted people very politely, and was a confident little man!
Ryder (formerly Icy - that didn't fit him) and his Auntie Miso spent some time walking around campus and the surrounding town where I went to college! They had a blast meeting people and exploring. Ryder was a happy confident boy who was unphased by everything including loud trucks (and of course Miso was too!) Ryder is a SDIT and Miso is our pup from the soup litter who will be testing for therapy work soon ❤️
Hank practicing his place command and rocking it! Hank is part of our Puppy Head Start program and will be going home with his new family next week!

Last bedtime snack as a full litter 😭 it's always so bittersweet to see them go to their new homes!
The raindrops had a great time playing in the snow! They even "helped" with shoveling!
