Ember’s a smart girl!

Henry and I are discovering what an extremely smart dog we have on our hands!  Yes, she has improving to do in areas, but I’m baffled at the improvement she has made already!

I’ve already informed you of her quick learning of “Sit.”  Even better though, she can do it with only a hand motion now :)  She doesn’t need to actually hear the word!  I’m still working on laydown.  She doesn’t grasp that yet.

On Wednesday, we allowed her to take another car ride with us to deliver food to friends in our bible study.  They have a new addition as well, but much more important: they have a 10 day old baby boy!  Anyway, Ember did pretty well in car.  Mommy should have stopped and let her use the RR, so her accidents are not her fault; they are Mommy’s fault.

She was able to play with our friends’ lab when we got to their house, and she played great!  She wore herself out, too!  On the way home, she actually laid down and was quite sleepy.  It was too cute not to photograph :)Ember 001Ember 002Ember 003That’s one worn out puppy!

Yesterday, I went to Walmart for a bit during one of her naps and decided to get her a new toy :)  She’s already begun the destruction process on this one, too :)Ember 005Last night, her Granddaddy and Grandmommy came over to meet her and play with her!  She was really good and greeted them with love.  They even brought her some treats and new toys to play with!  She was a little over stimulated at first, but it definitely didn’t last long.  Then, her granddaddy taught her to play ball!

At the end of this 2nd video, she plops down because she was already so tired from having chased the ball so much :)  Ember is in love with her new toys and her new playground!

We still haven’t introduced her to half of the house yet.  We are waiting for a while to do that. 

We love our new sweet puppy!
