Hi All,
Unfortunately Baron has received little attention this week as his sort of sibling, Kiki, the 12 year old German Shepherd required a lot of attention from yours truly.  Kiki needed to be boarded, as her owner lost electricity.  Yes, I volunteered to take her to the boarding facility, not that there were any other offers.  Kiki's behavior put Baron to shame.  She was perfectly behaved in the car (although it took some doing to get her in the car), and ignored the growling, snarling pug, as well as the over-anxious Irish Setter.  She did not enthusiastically jump on any humans - myself included. 
Maybe Kiki should give Baron some pointers (and I don't mean retrievers)!
All for now,
Botswain
