Baron's 7th Trainer?

Hi All,
This is a great day at Poodle Place.  Norman, a charming gentleman, actually volunteered to be Baron's 7th Trainer (as if he needs another one)! Honestly, he didn't exactly volunteer, he was roped into it.  His granddaughter has a lovely, though rambunctious, chocolate lab. Upon hearing the cost of boarding the lab while the family was on vacation, this intrepid gentleman generously volunteered to board the lab for free!!!  I know, dear readers, you are probably thinking that the lab is his grand dog, hence, family.  Baron is practically family - the kind that visits whether you like it or not.
Unfortunately for our dauntless potential trainer, he shared stories of the lab's good behavior under his tutelage.  Yours truly slyly suggested that perhaps he would like to hone his training skills; the poor  man had no choice but to nod, a sick smile plastered on his face.
You can imagine my enthusiasm at the thought of 10 days in a Baron-free zone.  As this trainer lives alone, there will be more room in his bed for Baron than there is in ours - hence 10 nights of pleasant dreams (for us, not the trainer).  Trainer #7 is in for quite a surprise - he has yet to meet his newest student.  They meet on Tuesday, and Baron is very excited (always a bad sign).
Ah what a wonderful world.
Optimistically yours,
Botswain
PS
Trainer #6 is still in the picture, as some have questioned Trainer #7's follow through.
