Training Day

Howdy, Ma'am, Sir.

I sure had a great day today.  After having one heck of a peaceful night sleepin' in my crate and a restful day while the Foster Family was out at work and school, Foster Dad took me out for a bit of trainin'.  Lookit what a beautiful day it was!

First off, we did a little leash walkin'.  I ain't normally one to polish my own silver, but I'm gettin' powerful good at it.    After that, we started to work on stuff what was a bit harder.  Jumpin' up in the car all by my lonesome.   First, we worked on the approach:

First time, I might have had just a moment's hesitation...

...but, eventually, I done figured out how to git my paws up on the bumper.

Foster Dad helped me on up in the car.

Now, I got to admit that I didn't manage to git up there by myself and I didn't jump down on my own either, but this here was the first day I ever did try!  I'm gonna git good at this, cuz Foster Brother Pepper tells me it's a great way to show my Forever Family on how much I really want to go home with 'em.  Whiskey just kinda snickers at me, but I don't pay her no mind.

Anyhow, I best git on back to my spot on the doggy bed.  It's almost time for everyone to trade around spots and such. 

Y'all have a great night.  Especially you, Forever Family.  Maybe I'll git to meet y'all on Saturday?
