Ceana's first hike was quite the success. I believe she was about 4&1/2 months when we went on it. She loved to help Chris rock climb and follow an older dog that was leaping from boulder to boulder. Ceana did not leap, she did bark and watch. I made a huge mistake that day by letting her pull the leash as we walked the steep incline. After to Ceana would think pulling was her job on walks. At this age she became very good at digging holes and she removed a pesky rose bush in our back yard. She also was picking up the frisbee after it had fallen on the ground and running around with it. She does not quite bring it back yet... but almost there. Hooray Ceana had also learned to whine at the door when she has to go! Number two seemed easier for her to predict as peeing accidents still happened every once and a while. Ceana also learned the ever important shake and high five. This quickly turned into you cheer and her paw is in the air to meet your hand so you better be ready. Golf balls seem to be the toy of choice for this age, although anything Eeyore is always a good time for her.
