Boscoe

Beth had a fun visit with Boscoe. They ran around the breeder's house and then they played outside for a bit. She said it was very hard to leave him. Thankfully my dad is still in Myrtle Beach. If he had been here they would have brought Boscoe home. My dad would have said 'you can train him'. We see how well him and mom and dad did with Lucy 😘. She is one stubborn dog who does exactly as she pleases.

People have asked if Boscoe will be coming to visit the store when we get him. Beth said that she will bring him in on a Saturday so that everyone can meet him. It won't be until the end of January. Don't worry if you can't make it that day. He will have many visits.

At the trainer he is going to be crate trained, learn how to walk on a leash, learn to come and stay. All the things you teach a puppy. I asked/told Beth to tell the trainer to teach him to stay away from shoes and yarn. Two things that he will find lying around our house.

We watched the last taped episode of Making It and now we are going to race through The Masked Singer. I can definitely knit during this - you don't need to watch.
