We've had Daisy about 6 weeks now and she has added a bundle of energy to our lives.

Every morning I get up a little before daylight to get her breakfast and then get ready for a morning walk. We started out just walking around the house, but it didn't take long before we were venturing out further and exploring around the farm.
I started her leash training right off and she's pretty much got that down, but now that she will come to me on command we usually start our walks on the leash but I take it off after 10 minutes or so to let her romp and explore. She seemed fascinated by a half dozen honking geese that flew low over us this morning. She is certainly growing fast, has already more than doubled in size but is still covered in puppy fur.
One rather funny occurrence happened when I was setting out live traps for raccoons. Seems we have some new young ones showing up recently, so she was "helping" me set out the live trap as I baited it with deer corn and marshmellows. When I turned to pick up my bucket of corn and bag of marshmellows I heard the trap slam shut. I turned to see that apparently Daisy couldn't resist trying out a marshmellow and found herself in a rather embarrassing situation. I think it was lesson learned. We caught a raccoon that night and the next morning she wasn't too keen in getting very close.
