Blake potentially sets a family record!

Hi All,
I know it has been awhile since I last wrote.
 Here is the latest.  I am taking an intermediate obedience class with Blake - our only obedience class (although he does receive private tutoring). During the 1st class it was obvious that Blake was the oldest in the class and one of the least obedient dogs. Nonetheless, the "professor", Connie,  told me he should be a therapy dog. Who knew? Probably because, while the other dogs were behaving obediently, Blake was greeting the humans (Connie included), tale wagging.  He has mastered apple polishing.
As class has progressed, Blake has done well. The only thing holding him back is me.
Connie just told me that Blake is doing great and will probably graduate to the advanced class.  To be honest, Blake is the only canine family member to get past the beginning class.  When Baron rook the beginning class, I encouraged our entire family to attend the "graduation", because Baron was not graduating and I did not want him to notice - bad for his ego.  We will see what happens.
All for now
