Baron Better Behaved

Hi All,
You haven't heard from me in awhile because Baron is still at Barklee's School for Barking Boys and Girls on a daily basis. The good news is that Baron's behavior has improved!!! I am no longer being dragged down the street, or chasing him to get his leash on (his favorite game). He does jump on me from time to time, but no one is perfect (except for me, of course).

The big test will come tomorrow when Baron goes to the Beauty Parlor for his monthly hair cut and spa treatment. He draws the line at nail polish, but does enjoy his pedicure. The groomer usually lies awake the night before Baron's appointment. She is afraid that if she were to fall asleep she would have a terrifying nightmare about a huge (71 pounds - don't tell him) black poodle pouncing on her. Unfortunately, Baron usually lets himself out of his crate, so she doesn't always see him coming. Her biggest fear is that he will open the crates that contain the other hooligans and there will be mayhem.
All For Now,
Botswain
PS
In case you were wondering, Baron's spa day is an excused absence from Barklee's School.
