A MILESTONE

The weather has turned nasty – cold and rainy. Guinness is very good about staying in our yard and coming when called, so I decided to try taking him out without his leash dragging in the muck. We always have his leash dragging, inside and out, when he is out of his crate to make it easier to catch him. He was perfect! Later in the day, I even tried a couple of short “proms” (meaning promenade, or a walk around the condo property) with no leash in the rain. Again, he stayed with me and responded to commands. We had more roaming time in the house today, this time with no leash. The experiment has been a success! Guinness has earned the right to not have to drag his leash everywhere he goes.
