So Abby is now 15 weeks old and 25 pounds of fuzzy love. She's getting a little ornerier at times, but she's basically the same sweet pup, though bigger. Obedience class begins next week, so Chris and I observed a meeting of another class with the same teacher, and we're really excited about it.

Of course, we're convinced she'll be the star of her class.

At home, she's mastered several commands (sit, down, stay [she stays for up to a minute while gazing longingly at her dinner], shake, drop it, get it, [working on] roll over, [go in your] crate, and no), though most of them she utterly ignores about 95% of the time amidst distractions.

Her newest: "box," in which she puts whatever sock or shoe she has absconded with into a box at the foot of the bed. Obviously, teaching her this will be a long process, but now, after three days of working on it, she'll retrieve a toy from across the room and, when told to "put it in the box," she puts it in the box. It's hilarious.

So: some then and now pictures:
