Harper was exhausted from her week of shopping, dining out and her first art festival, so luckily we were home on Saturday to watch all of the activity when the backyard visitors decided to throw their first party of the season.

Well, we begin Harper’s fourth month and the first day of summer not only wondering if puppy lessons are needed, but also if after this week that puppy therapy sessions may also be a necessity.
