In a nod to yesterday’s video (which I still haven’t figured out how to download from Facebook – due entirely to lack of effort), I thought I would pick out a picture from Choppy’s puppy graduation to post for today’s Throwback Thursday.

Keep up with Travels with Choppy on Facebook and Twitter!
Choppy also has her own Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!

I guess she too was a work in progress…. but it looks like she has come a long way!

She has – though how much is from training and how much is from mellowing from age, I don’t know!

I was always pretty unsuccessful with training but think it had more to do with me than the dog! She doesn’t seem too mellow yet though.

The dog I had growing up had to go deaf and half blind before he mellowed out. Perhaps I shouldn’t mention that…

A bit of AD/HD maybe?

More than a bit, maybe! (Either that, or a lot of border collie and other energetic dogs – perfect for a bunch of kids!).

Thank you! And they are – she is far better about hats these days. Obviously.

Daisy still hates having anything on her head, and I doubt that will ever change. But Choppy looks adorable with her graduation cap on! 🙂

It’s not Choppy’s favorite, but she is much better now than she was back then as a pup!

Yes, they damage a lot when they are puppies, it’s a good thing they are soooo darn cute.

Wearing clothes is an acquired taste. When I was little I tried to eat my coat.
Love and licks,

Oh, Choppy wasn’t fond of the clothing at first – it has grown on her as well!

Hats are a very underrated accessory (in my opinion). Have a great weekend!

She thanks you – though six years later, I’m not sure how much of her training has stuck!
