Buddy went to Wisconsin Dells this weekend, but he never made it to the water park. We planned to take him inside because it would have been good experience. Wanting to interact with the rug rats and keep an eye on them, he was relegated to the hotel room during our playtime.
Instead of being tested with a multitude of distractons, he was tested with accepting a new situation and being alone in a foreign environment. He did get to circunavigate the hotel on many occasions, meeting new people and being exposed to new sights and smells
The frigid temperatures (-22, this morning) have reduced his walks to five minute potty breaks. So he is getting a little stir crazy. We did walk him around the hotel where his greatest temptation was the food left on the floor by the hotel guests.
We have also supplemented the short walks with some extended play time in the house this evening, but it's just not the same. Looking forward to playtime at the training class tomorrow.
"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion." - Unknown
