One Lost, One New

More obedience practice today. Lots of SIT, DOWN, STAY. Echo was able to have some "fun" walking up and down the metal steps at the stadium this afternoon. He used to be tentative , but now shows no fear.

We went for a shorter walk today because Echo was going to the CSA farm and grocery. Zoe, the farm dog, was extremely happy/excited to see us or she may have picked up Echo's smell. Either way it was a great opportunity to work Echo with an unleashed energetic dog jumping around. Echo behaved himself while we picked up our weekly supply of vegetables, so on the way back to the car I pulled his cape and let him play a little.

At the grocery store, one of the clerks said that Echo must have gained five pounds since last week, which is probably not too far from the truth. He was well behaved (bored and lethargic) in the store until the meat section. Then we pranced down the frozen food aisle to checkout.

On the way to the store we noticed that one of his teeth was very loose. I couldn't bring myself to pull it. It didn't make it past dinner. On a positive note, Echo's adult canine is starting to poke through. The tooth that split when playing with Buddy is finally being replaced, his smile will soon be intact :-)
