I'm back!

Hi All,
After a relaxing vacation I am once again home with Baron.  Upon entering the house, Baron welcomed me in the manner any parent of a human toddler would be proud of.  He gave a flying leap, nearly knocking over myself, my husband and the taxi driver standing behind us.  Alex, the driver, expressed regret that Baron paid little attention to him.  His feelings were hurt.  Really?  He must be sturdier than us.  After his impressive jump, Baron tried very hard to contain his enthusiasm.  He jumped over the couches and raced up and down the stairs.  I am seriously considering an agility class - he might have talent.

Baron behaved fairly well in our absence.  He didn't have any poodle parties, was not caught eating sourdough bread (i.e. no need for detox) and didn't pounce on the new puppy next door (of course the 5 foot fence helps). 
Now that I'm home, I do have to revisit dog training.  We have exceeded the 6 lesson package that Trainer #6 usually recommends for her clients, but, Baron is no ordinary client.
All for now,
Botswain
