She is extremely beautiful. How on earth do you get her so calm? Blue still can't be still a minute. Hummm, maybe if I let him on the couch?

I guess the new puppy will be coming in a couple of weeks. I'll have to have Bob call and check on her.

There's only one method: WORK THEM STUPID.

Ruby was reclining on her fainting couch after having spent the day out training with the Big Dogs. She ran and played with the other puppies, then jumped and barked herself silly watching the young dogs do 30 yard retrieves - then our trainer said "what the heck" and let her run a couple of 30 yard singles herself. Which she did pretty well for a 7 month old - she dropped the 2nd one so we threw her a smaller Dokken and she did fine with that, I still have to grab her check cord to get her to drop the bird.

She was out from about 9 in the morning until 4:30 p.m., with an hour or so break for lunch (for the humans). She sacked out on the sofa until it was time to go to bed! (She's only allowed on the old sofa in the computer room, but she aspires to be a Bed Dog like Shelley.)
