Hello all, last Thursday on February 2, Larry arrived. We began home 
training on Friday the third and have been training pretty much every day. 
Yesterday and today we had free days off to do what we would normally do 
without a trainer breathing down our backs. In the course of training, we 
have done various things like residential sidewalks, shoreline in without 
sidewalks, street crossings, riding the bus, going to restaurants, supply 
stores, and yes, Petsmart. I have to say that on Petsmart day, my dog did 
the best at the pet store compare two at the restaurant. Go figure. The 
trainer said it was probably because at least at the pet store he was 
moving around and still getting to smell things even if he wasn't actively 
distracted. Whereas at the restaurant, he was bored because he was laying 
under the table and there we were eating above him. Since he is a young 
dog, a lot of this is to be expected.

His name is Larry and he is a black lab who weighs 70 pounds. He gets 
along well with his "big brother" Cash and with Stacie. This is good 
because I told her that if Larry and cash did not get along, someone would 
be sleeping outside. She quickly responded that it wouldn't be her. LOL. 
So I guess I was quickly put in my place. Anyway, everyone gets along 
great and Larry has acclimated to his new surroundings and is bonding with 
me rather quickly. As I dictate this message, he is laying at our feet 
fastest Leap. I do not yet have the full bio on him or his exact 
measurements like height and width and all that good stuff. However I can 
say that he is very thin and has long legs. In fact one of his nicknames 
is Larry Longbottom. I will be writing more as things come up. Regarding 
places like social media, I will post something similar and include some 
pictures.

Thanks all!
