Thanks man for the rescue, Duncan golden retriever pups first day at new pup daycare

Duncan was leaning into me on way home I had him spend the morning at new pup daycare. The staff said he was very shy just observed I get it he will get with program.

Duncan pup - Man thanks for rescuing me this place is terrifying they have a obstacle course. With a bridge it must be 12 million feet in the air I could fall off and get dead man.

Man - Dunk the bridge is six inches you wouldn’t have died if you fell off

Duncan- No man it was 12 million feet in the air it was terrifying, then man after the bridge they had this tunnel I’m not going through that tunnel the German Shepard and border collie went through. I could have got lost in the tunnel of death ,and you and I would never be together again. Who would you cuddle with at night you can’t sleep alone man.

Man - Dunk it was a six foot tube you would have been ok.

Duncan- Really man you think then they wanted me to get into this huge water bowl yea man all the other dogs were in the big water bowl. I’m like I could drown I’ll swim man with you or the boys at the quarry / big water bowl but not here cuz you and my boys are not around and it’s all new bums to sniff all that sniffing is stressful for a dunk pup man.

Four hours new pup daycare wore Duncan out he’s out sound asleep. I just find humor and speak for our furry kids.

We had these open oak stairs going upstairs at kind of a steep pitch and on the other side were stairs going down into the basement. When he was a pup we heard him yelp and found him down below on the stairs. We guessed that he tried to climb up the stairs and fell through and land below on the other staircase. The vet found some cracked ribs. So if it was that event or not he was never really comfortable with stairs after that. He ended being a really large athletic dog. I would do a 5 mile jog with him 4 or 5 days a week. But he did not like stairs .
