I'm Marlee a lab mix with estimated birthdate of February 2025. The person raising me raises puppies and has a structured environment for us. This means we eat all of our meals in our kennels and aren't let out until we're quiet and calm. We usually are quiet and calm pretty quick. I am walked on a leash daily and let out at specific times to help me be successful at going potty outside.   We are also working on here, no, leave it and my favorite... YES! Which means I have met or exceeded expectations and is often followed by a treat and or praise party. I'm sure her people think she's crazy but I enjoy it.  She says it's just good manners to greet people with a sit, and we teach good manners here. I can sit, but what's a manner? I've got so much to learn.   I tend to hang back in new situations and after a few minutes I'll come up and say hello. The more people I meet the more confidence I get. I am about 15 pounds now. I am the black and tan one just incase fluffy wasn't descriptive enough. I am medium energy. Not afraid of loud noises. I ignore the vacuum. I am the stair master, no stair unstepped when I have access to them.  Cats. Hmmm... I will chase them. But respect a well placed swat and back off. Typical puppy stuff. I love anything that will play with me and sun bathing in the outdoor kennel. 

Dinner is at 6. Will you join me?
