Socialization--(whatever that means!)

Yup, that's me up there. That's me playing with this cool guy named Charlie. We met at puppy play group, it's at the same place my mom takes me for my weekly classes. Mom says it's good for me to get out and get some 'socialization'. I don't know what that big word means, but I'm guessing it means being around other dogs and people whether I like it or not! I guess most of the time it's pretty good thing.

I have to admit, for the first hour I pretty much stayed under the chairs again. There were so many dogs there, wild and crazy dogs. A few tried to lure me out, but once again I stayed put. Check out this dog! She was one big lady. (and I mean that in the nicest of ways.) She actually seemed pretty nice, but just her sheer size alone was enough to keep me hiding. Then I heard Mom say something about staying a bit longer to try the 'featherweight' group--I don't know what that means, but all of a sudden the bigger crazy dogs left and smaller dogs came in. Oh, some of them were still pretty rowdy, but then I met Charlie and decided he was pretty safe to play with. I think I heard my mom say something about meeting him next week again--yay! It's fun to have someone to play with.
