For Walt, every day is Puppy Wednesday. The baby Labrador tears around the house, a study in chaos as she earns her place and learns her manners. Walt has been a saint, correcting her appropriately, strict but always gentle, and Teddy has been very brave, valiant, even, as she made the unimaginable adjustment from living with her mom and 10 siblings, to a new home, suddenly alone with a bunch of non-canine strangers.

Here she is, titrating herself into Walt's environment, and god bless the handsome border collie, he's beginning to give her his heart.
