Home Again

After nineteen days in the hospital Winston and I are just about settled in back home again. I didn't realize how serious he was while we were there. Once inside, but before his vest was even off he pranced across the room and grabbed a toy from his basket! He has been rolling around, sleeping on his back, and barking up a storm! I plan on making some entries about multiple topics from our stay at the Seashore house.

Yesterday was our first time shopping since November and he was sooo great! His eye contact and attentiveness has really improved. He did have a "meltdown" though. I really expected it because of how stressful it is on them to be reintroduced into new situations but okay so someone dropped a cappicuno RIGHT where my lift lowered and Winston hates walking through water let alone that. Anyway in order for him to get into the van he has to do a "Footplate" (Up onto my...) so that I can reach his leash...well that just wasn't happening! He just could not focus on anything other than "Leaving It" and jumping into the van. I walked him away from the situation and even tried pottying him again...but after five minutes FREEZING my butt off I cheated and had my mom unhook him.

Tonight in KFC he was such an angel while I continually dropped food he just laid there watching me!

My sister and mom went to SSD's anual grad dinner and with the exception of a very select few dogs they were apalled by their behavior!! Augh! More later...sleep now!

I'm glad Winston is getting back in the swing of things. I can't imagine Winston being anything but great in public!
