This evening we took Aiden to a friend’s farm to help expose him to different types of animals. Although he was cautious at first, he soon became more comfortable and wanted to play with the livestock.

Aiden certainly looks at home by the end of his visit. I thought you were going to finish up with a shot of Aiden with sheep! He is certainly being exposed to many different stimuli – what a lucky little chap!
Hi Andrea,
Unfortunately she does not have any sheep. I would love to see Aiden with sheep!
Yes, wouldn’t that be fun to see?
Oh, I forgot to mention, his coat looks beautiful, his ears strong and his paws really tight! Whatever you are doing in this developmental stage is really paying off! Congratulations on a superbly handsome boy!
What a great idea! That looks like so much fun. Aiden is adorable.
Such a great idea we need to do that too. Aiden looks like a stud already. What are you feeding him Lynda.

Great pictures, Lynda! That is a terrific socialization activity. Aiden looks so interested in each of the different animals, and seems happy as a kid at the zoo. We visited Brattle Farm over the weekend during the Pittsfield Garden Tour, and saw all those animals, including prize-winning Merino sheep that were sleeping under the distant trees like puff-balls, each covered with a blanket to protect the fleece from being stained by hay. Unfortunately, dogs were not allowed on the tour, but we could try to arrange a visit sometime with Dutch.
Great shots Lynda! I see he is getting some of his “big boy” fur on his back just like Brody is. He looks great!
So Lynda, when is Aiden going to get his new pony??
I can see why your dogs grown up to be so pefect. Aiden is have a wonderful puppyhood. He could write a book about his adventures.
Yeah, when is Aiden going to get his new pony? LOL
He such a beautiful boy!!
The last photo is beautiful.
