I went to visit my puppy again today "Sonny" For those of you who didn't see his first pictures he's a Standard Poodle.
It seems he has a little Alpha-Male (like me) in him ven though he's the little guy. The breeder tells me he's the first one out the door when the puppies go out, and when the puppies got some meaty bones he took his and went to a corner, then another dog next to him had a bigger piece he "threw" his piece down next to the other puppy and took the big one out of his mouth! He then took his big piece into the crate and kept it private, he gave a little growl when anyone tried to take it and they backed off. I then went into the pen and took it out of his mouth, he pulled back the first time, but he let me take it the next 3 times and waited for me to give it back to him.
We spent a lot of time playing together, a nice thing happended when I got there. I took Sonny out of the pen and had him on my lap and his mommy came and started licking me, I turned him over and she licked his belly then licked me, they they both were licking my face, that was fun.
Sonny's going to be very active, he pulled a mat down and a cardboard box with toys came out, he was looking for all kinds of adventure, but followed me when I moved. He also came to me most every time I called him, I put my arms out and said "YAY" and he wagged his tail and pranced and ran to me.
We then let all the puppies out for a puppy free for all, this was great fun, all of the puppies running around jumping on me, teething on me everywhere, multiple face lickings, not quite the "harem" in my fantasies but a reasonable substitute! Every time I had a different bunch of puppies licking my face I was like, where's my guy? He would manage to appear, give my face a few good licks, then go back to exploring and playing with the other puppies.
I get to pick him up next Sunday the 11th, any area FRiends are welcome to come visit him.

Funny, when my guy does something wrong and told to go to another room, he slinks back in, quiet as a church mouse, and keeps repeating this routine until he's welcomed back. Then he's happy as kid on Christmas morning to be back in the good graces.
