Craig, you are so sweet! It snowed this morning and covered everything, it was so beautiful. Pongo and Belle sound like they are great dogs. I'm glad you have them in your life.

I am having such a wonderful time. Yesterday, we worked with Monty bringing me the phone, and helping me to get off the toilet. Today, we worked with him bumping a door to close it, and going to my husband and barking when I give him the "help" command.

Next Thursday, he is spending the day with us (his trainer will drop him off in the morning and them pick him up that afternoon). Then, he will spend the entire weekend with us. After that, we will start working on going out in public together.

Thanks so much for being interested in the training aspect.
