Took a short walk this evening right after work to use some of Echo's energy. Then a quick stop to the liquor store to purchase a gift for our dinner hosts. We had arranged for an extended play date for Echo at Kane and Sable's house, which included dinner for us. The dogs would have to wait to eat until after we returned home.
Echo and Buddy were able to spend three hours sniffing, chasing, retrieving, tugging, and exploring. Echo needs some work on staying OFF people and other dogs. On one occasion he leaped from the stairs onto a resting Sable, who let it slide. However, the second time that Echo pounced Sable was not amused and offered a quick and effective correction. Hopefully, but doubtfully, Echo learned a lesson.
The highlight of Echo's evening was probably meeting a new and strange creature, a cat. Echo was interested, but kept a safe distance away. Eventually I took him over to sniff and say "Hello" Fur did not fly; it may take a few more meeting for them to become friends.
Finally we walked home and Echo ate dinner. Needless to say he was exhausted. So much so that he decided to crash in the laundry room on the cool basement floor between two piles of clothes - away from the rest of us.
