We're making serious progress!

It's only been a matter of days but I think Mr. Preston "Bodie" Broadus feels right at home. Today was his first day home alone with Beadie and he did really well - enjoying the 'smart' toys that kept him busy while we were away. Today's menu included a frozen peanut butter and moistened kibble Kong, and a scrumptious chilled pumpkin Kong.

Bodie also learned to shake a paw today and now he's so proud of his little trick. It took some trying, and a few different tactics, but he's got it down. He now knows "gimme a paw", "sit" and "down." His "sit" is getting very good, and doesn't need treats every time.

I don't want to give the impression that we're teaching a trick a day - I do have a full time job! But Bodie is a clever little guy and eager to please. He also started chasing the ball today (instead of just chasing Beadie) and he sometimes brings it back:)
