Buddy went to work this morning. He attended a staff meeting with Lisa and he behaved well. The only incident was that he contributed to spilling a cup of coffee. The coffee cup was located on the floor and he was called over to the person. He was sitting for the greeting, but raised his front paw which came down on the cup. Plenty of blame to go around.
Since it was raining this evening, I tried to get Buddy to use the treadmill to get his exercise. At one mile per hour he eventually got used to it. However, as the speed increased, he didn't want anything to do with it. So we had to brave the elements. We will try the treadmill again tomorrow.
Our walk in the evening was very scary. Buddy was apprehensive toward three common items that he often sees in the daylight. But at night they morph into scary monsters. The gas tank at the construction site, the garbage bin in the park, and the electrical box in the yard all drew caution and warning barks.
We walked over to all the items and "made friends" with each object to calm his fears.
