Whoever it was that posted somewhere about socialising a young pup by carrying them in a big straw bag. I don't know who it was and can't seem to find the post, but thank you! I did this with Ben today and he loved it! I couldn't walk 5 steps without someone telling me how cute he is, and he got to see a lot of sights - he seems very happy this evening. I took a sheet of newspaper with me and when I thought he needed to pee I found a quiet place and put him on it. He did his thing and then went straight back in the bag - thus not actually touching the ground since he hasn't had all his shots yet. Worked great and I am sure we will do it again before his official "coming out" party lol.
Whoever you are, thank you!
