[NAGDU] Class so far

[Tracy Carcione]

Class so far is going very well.  Igloo moves out at a good pace, which is
wonderful after so long pleading for Krokus to step out.  He's focussed,
and he's easy to correct when he does get distracted.  We've passed many
dogs and some bushes, and he's trotted right past.  We went to the
supermarket today, because it's raining and icy, and he walked past
everything with only a couple thoughts about sniffing, which I corrected
with just a soft verbal scolding.  And no scavenging so far!  We've had
some traffic checks, some planned and others not, and he's done exactly as
he should.  No surprise there.  And he continues to be very well-behaved
in the room, though there isn't much opportunity for mischief.  He did
pick up my sock, but only to hold in his mouth.  Retriever!
He is 65 pounds and 23.5 inches tall, which is an inch taller than Krokus.
 His daddy was a chocolate lab, and some of his siblings are chocolate.  I
didn't know chocolate and yellow litters could be mixed, but there it is.
It's early days yet, but so far it's great.
