Pawsitively Proud

Evan is hanging out at the front desk today.  It is so important that he gets a substantial amount of time out of his kennel every day after being here for almost three years.  He seems to appreciate, so much, the extra attention and toys.  He is particularly fond of a squeeky stuffed bunny.  At the desk, Evan gets to meet new people from a comfortable distance.  He can also work on his training periodically, and the air conditioning is not half bad either.

He was a star in his class this weekend!  We took a long walk around Inman Park and saw lots of joggers, cyclists, other dogs, baby strollers, and other things.  To the inexperienced eye, he looked just like any other happy dog walking in a group, but we did still notice that his tail was held high and curled over his back so we know he did not completely put his guard down.  He was still communicating with us that he needed to be kept safe, and we assured him we would by not forcing him into anything he was not ready for, rewarding him with sniffing and chewing on grass, and praising him all the while.
