It hadn't even been 24 hours since picking Ozzie up at the airport and here we were off to a picnic. Since he did not have his shots, he was not supposed to get down on the ground where other dogs had been. To keep him off the ground and yet still be able to socialize with others and see other Bouviers, I purchased this
pet carrier from Amazon. I couldn't possibly carry him all day; he was already 20lbs. Thank goodness Mike didn't mind stepping up to the task. His wife Suzy took Toola for most of the day so they were both a huge help.
For Ozzie to have been in an airline crate for almost 18 hours, separated from his littermates, mother and breeder and then come to a picnic with so many strange dogs, was totally unnerved. He was cool as a cucumber. It was hard to believe that he hadn't been in my care for a whole 24 hours and yet so relaxed.
There was such a mixture of bouvie babies there at the picnic; small, giant, fawn, black, brindle and even some that could sing. The best part was making new friends with great people.
