Brady was ready for another play date. Pepper is the Nielson's puppy (a neighbor). He's about 3 months older then Brady. Pepper is also a golden doodle, but mixed with a mini poodle, so he will be smaller then Brady. Right now they are perfect size. Although these pictures don't show it much, there was a lot of excitement. I didn't remember my camera until they were more calm.
We are learning a lot about Brady and just dogs in general. Sara Dean, a neighbor who trains dogs, has been helping us out. We trade favors. She's taught us how dogs need to be socialized with all kinds of dogs of all breeds and sizes and ages. Being a puppy, he's not too appealing to older dogs, but he's doing well. I can't stress this process enough how important it is to socialize pupppies. This is one area we failed Charlie, our first dog. They learn so much from other dogs, whether it's manners, behavior or just knowing they are a dog and not a human. It's been a fun process.
