Socializing

Mom and I hit the road this morning. Mom had some errands, so I was looking forward to our 2nd stop, my favorite store, PetSmart. I'm trying to learn (or re-learn) loose leash walking, but I've got to tell you; when it comes to PetSmart, I can hardly contain myself! I LOVE that place! I always get so much attention when we go there, and I get to see doggy friends as well. Paul gave me a treat today. I was too shy to take it from him last time, but I was ready today! Yum! Yum! Our next exciting stop was by Dr. B's office. They let me come in and play on the scales. Well, alright I have to sit on the scales, but after that guys, Julie gives me a treat! It doesn't get any easier than that! And then, I'm so cute, she gives me another treat when I 'sit' without being told to. I've got this girl figured out, so I do my 'sit pretty' trick without being told. Yep, you guessed it! Another treat! woohoo!! After taking a little nap with the warm sunshine coming through the window at home, I was ready to go for a walk. Mom kept making me stop. She says I was pulling on the leash. But I can explain! There's lots of smells out there, and I could hear my friends barking on the insides of their houses! Anyway, every time I pull and Mom makes me stop, she clicks, I sit, then she tells me to walk again and off we go! I got lots of treats today and it took us a long time to get that walk in, but we made it. Then it was back in the car to go pick Dad up from work! I will also mention that I made Mom happy when I rang my 'bells' on the door to go out to potty tonight. I finally 'got it' when she put a little peanut butter on there to entice me;)
