Obedience

Lets go

sit

wait

heel

leave it

wait for traffic

Dave has been taking Lewis on long "obedience" walks lately and it seems to be helping with his confidence.     Getting past scary things and doing what Dave asks at the same time is an all consuming and empowering task for Lewis.  

 He had a bit of a setback the other day though while trying to get past an enormous fire breathing monster (a surveyor at the edge of the ditch) just as two teeth gnashing giant trolls on bikes approached from behind (Pam and John on their bikes).    Dave talked quietly and steadied him, but he almost shook himself to pieces.   When the danger  passed he was beside himself with pride at his accomplishment (or perhaps he was just so thankful that he was still alive).   Who knows what goes on his his sweet little brain.

The daily walks continue and progress is made.




Last night was Friday night - and Friday night is Fish Fry night at home.   We enjoy the tradition and see no reason to stop it now.    On our way to O'Shucks Raw Bar and Grill across the street, we came across these poor folks and asked them to join us.   We enjoyed their company and our fish frys were outstanding.

You're right - its Pam and John!
