Despite working seven days a week, Geoffrey has taken Auroara out on 23rd Street for her first two outside walks this past Sunday and the Sunday before. Her first excursion was on her six month birthday, and we took some pictures of that event. Today, Auroara remembered that going out front was not the end of the world. She hung back a little at first, but after just one house, she was surveying the street and deciding that the front door world at least smelled interesting.

She's enthusiastic about breakfast and dinner, nearly cleaning a big bowl of wet puppy food and kibble. Aurora also has discovered that she can use the human's fixation on bodily functions to get trips outside whenever she wants. She [...]
