Boggie 2/8/11

Boggie is learning not to bark unless I say, "say hi!" He is very good at obeying but sometimes he doesn't understand. He even sat when I told him to, even though we were in the middle of playing keep away. On our walk, he was wonderful. He is really getting the hang of walking with the leash dragging behind him. I put his little coat and bandana on him and put my camera and iPod Touch in his coat so he would feel like he had a job. I only picked up the leash when I saw people putting their loud trashcans away. I wrapped the leash around him so it wouldn't remind him to heel but he was forgetful so I put it on the ground again. He is a very good boy and waits by my feet while I type out his day. Near the end of his walk, Boggie became tired, so I led him to the shade where we sat for a while and I typed here. While we were sitting there a car drove up near us and a person walked their dog near us so Boggie had plenty of practice focusing on me. After that we went to go pick up Boggie's poo, because I didn't have a poop bag when he actually went, so we walked over to a dispenser and got a bag. I made him carry his poo. =P We walked home then, and I had Boggie sit almost at the end of the street while I walked to the driveway. I called him, and he ran to me, but he dropped the stuff he was carrying, so I brought him inside and went back out to get the stuff. I put the poop bag in the spot where the trashcan was supposed to be because it had not been brought in yet. Right before I left I told Boggie to say hi, and he threw up some treats. He started licking it up so I fake lunged at him and he left it alone. I cleaned it up. It was on the hard floor near the dining room and kitchen. It was a nice day and we walked a whole hour! Bye Boggie!
