Rosella is doing fine, still a little uncomfortable in her back forward of her hips on occasion, but no sign of trauma and has been vet checked with nothing remarkable noted.  I have asked for clearance for chiropractic consult for her.  She had a period of several days where she vomited once at night, in the middle of the night.  That's over and she seems fine now.  Her obedience looked great last week, no hesitation, no fixation on me.  Her WPR reports that she has turned the corner and is relaxing into her vocation.  Excellent news, and right on time!
 
Graham~still the life of any party, Graham is doing well with his handler, but can be knocked off track and run headlong into a dogpile at the drop of a hat, or a gust of wind.  He's a really social dog with other dogs and needs to learn to ignore them and focus on handler.  He's a great puppy and will be a nice service dog, just needs more time to grow up.

Maxwell is doing really well, but starting to wake up to the big world outside of PCC.  He was a perfect little robot puppy until this week, now he's challenging his WPRs to see if they can hold his attention in distracting environments.  It's harder than you might think, and food is no longer the center of his universe.  Keep going Nick and Jamie, it gets easier.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.  I am so very thankful for your hard work with our puppies and for having had the honor to work with you this year.  Enjoy the day, and enjoy the pups.
