Back in the bag and ready for a nap! The school in only four blocks from our home and they were all three sound asleep by the time I got home!

A field trip
A few of the puppies took their first car ride. They went on a little trip to school and were show-and-tell for Amirah. It was fun to listen to Amirah tell her classmates which puppies were boys, which was a girl, how old they are, and every other bit of puppy knowledge she had. The puppies did great! Not even an accident! It is amazing to see at 5 weeks already how their Labrador personality comes through...so calm, and quiet, yet so very social. I am not sure who enjoyed the attention more, Amirah or the puppies! Amirah's teacher had done a little research before the visit and shared with the class that Labrador Retrievers are the most popular dog in the United States and in fact, there are twice as many Labrador Retrievers registered than any other dog. She made the kids guess why. I would have to agree with all the answers she eventually shared with them: They are smart, obedient, easily trained, loyal. She also talked about their strong, athletic build that is perfect for hunting. swimming, or for hiking and exploring. She told me that after reading all about Labradors last night, she decided that she needs one!
