What a busy and fun day little Otis had today! It started with outside play/potty time. I discovered that if I shuffle my feet quickly by him on the turf he thinks I am playing and starts wagging his tail and gets excited. I love it when I can tell he is happy! We started working with him on the leash with commands like “step up” and “step down” so he can learn when the ground is going to “change” in front of him. I actually suspect he is already understanding it. I give a soft little twitch of the leash right before a step or incline and give the command without even stopping and he is doing really well with it! He is a smart little oatmeal cookie 💖

Of course we had to go to Petsmart and do a little shopping/exploring. Otis got some new treats that he is wild about!

After shopping it was time to go back in the yard for some more play/potty time.

Otis did some exploring around the house today and I’m pretty sure he generally knows how to get from the front door to the master bedroom(his room) and living room that also has a dog bed and his dishes. He even managed to come find me at the washer and dryer (so proud of this little guy)!

At dinner time he managed to talk us into giving him some carne asada with his meal (he is very serious about food, lol). He loved it!

After dinner we did another potty trip and then into bed for some relaxing (and one of his new treats)….

And finally, bedtime…
