Puh Puh Puh Puppy Pictures!!!

A couple of weeks ago, Miles had a weekend packed with socialization, including a Healthy Living fair with hundreds of people and animals in Concord, and some time in a puppy play group in Portland. The benefits of socialization have been shared below, but here are some of the pictures from that day:

Here is Miles doing the butt sniff test to a couple of 2-week old lambs at the Healthy Living Fair. Unfortunately, he wouldn't sit still long enough for pictures with the goats, bull, chickens, cow and big bunch of dogs. There were tons of animals there, but he was the star.

Random shot from the puppy play group at a store wholly devoted to dogs in Portland, ME.

"You guys ready? I'm coming in."

"Hey, quit ganging up on me."

All puppy golden retrievers are called 'Brandon' according to Rob (to honor Punky Brewster's dog).

Pig...err...puppy pile. That's Miles in the foreground with the red collar, but check out that guy in the upper right...his name is Thor and he and Miles could be twins.

"Get the big guy!" (It was that shepard's last day at the play group)

Here's Miles with some older boys at a local Portland dog park.

Here's Miles with his cousin Yogi and Yogi's brother, Pedro. They taught him to get knocked down and roll around in the dirt.

Miles has a thing for all things recyclable...here he is with his favorite toy of the day, an empty water jug.

And nap time...note how the little one is still awake; I thought puppies were supposed to sleep a lot.

Mmmmmm...dog face.

That's it for now. We keep getting more and more pictures of Miles, so we'll keep them coming with more stories of him being a good boy.
