Stepping stones.















Max and Buela in Colbert's new spot.

He has learned to take the stairs both up and down. Which makes catching him slightly more complicated. And once one of us does manage to fetch him, his entire body is tight with tension, it makes me wonder how sore his muscles get. D has managed to teach him that when he puts Colbert on the floor, he isn't going to let him go until he relaxes. So now he immediately relaxes, mainly because he has learned this means release.

He also has a new favorite hiding spot ; but is relatively easy to flush out from there without too much stress. Clothing left on the laundry room floor has also become a favorite lounge spot/hideaway.


Otherwise all is the same, he officially does look at us when he say his name, and he is still cavorting with our pups. Play time makes me realize that there is a puppy inside that just wants to be accepted and loved. Makes me wish dogs spoke english.
