New icon....again!!

Hope everyone enjoys my new icon. That's my baby!!

Speaking of that baby, Charlie had a very busy day today. He went to the vet this morning for his 3rd puppy shot. I had to drop him off this time because Dr. Bob was so busy. :( I worked there during the summer and I knew he would be well taken care of, but it still broke my heart to leave him because he's never been away from Mom before! I picked him up in the afternoon and after a quick break at home for a rest, potty and a drink of water, we went to Petsmart to sign him up for puppy training classes! I didn't have the money with me so I'm not officially signed up yet, but $99 will get me 8 weeks of professional training, and if I am not satisfied I can take the class again for free! They teach basic manners, basic commands, socialization, and also help with potty training, among other things. The classes will be once a week. I had a choice between Saturdays at 10 am, Sundays at 3:30 pm, Tuesdays at 6 pm or Thursdays at 6 pm. Sadly, Thursdays are the best days for me, so I will have to TiVO The O.C. until the classes are over. *tear* Ah, the sacrifices we make for our babies! I couldn't help spoiling him while we were there, so I bought him some more chewies, a little monkey toy, and a Dino Cuz! (Since they're all the rage, I had to join the fun.) So far he's not really interested in it, well not as much as Joey anyway (but who is? heehee), but he's exhausted from today's excitement and will probably get into it more tomorrow. He did carry it around proudly and bat it around a bit.

Has anyone taken the Petsmart puppy training or any other type of class like that? Just wondering if anyone had anything to share about it, what I should expect, what I should do to make the experience better, whatever.

Oh, and I must add Happy Birthday Hog!!! :)
