And then there was Guinness

Tonight was Guinness’s first Grade 1 class. Daddy had to take Guinness, now nearly 20 weeks old, alone as Mommy is in NC with Grandson Kevin. There were 20 puppies in the class including a half dozen yellow labs and one other chocolate lab who was only 17 weeks. Since Hershey was a super active puppy and flunked his puppy class, it seems normal to us for a lab puppy to be wild and crazy, though we thought we had better control of him than we did of Hershey. Daddy says that all of the other puppies in the class, even the labs, were docile and laid at their masters’ feet during class. Guinness never stopped running. When he should have been lying quietly, he was racing in spirited circles while Daddy held the leash. Twice he was used as an example of how a puppy should not behave. By the end of class, the only names anyone knew were Guinness’s and Grant’s.
