Who's a good doggy?

You are! Oh, yes, you are!

Isn't she sweet? Scooter has really bonded with Stephen, and, when he got home today, she demanded to be taken for a walk. She's not usually a very vocal dog, (though she does bark when someone comes to the door - but only if there's someone already at home), but this evening, she was eager to go for another W.A.L.K.

So Steve took off his bicycling shoes and slipped on his sandals and we three went to the park.

Eager, but well trained.

Pat and Ross did such a great job training Scooter that we feel like we are the ones who need training.

Here's Steve performing the "Here" command and gesture.

Patience

She's doesn't like to let go of her toys at the best of times, but when she's tired, she just refuses. She stops running around and just holds it in her mouth so you won't throw it again.

Then we know it's time to head home for a drink of water and a rest.

Happy, tired dog.
