Walking Club

Found a new group today to help Cane work on being mellow around other dogs. Not all interaction can be fun like the dog park. Sometimes he needs to be calm in a pack. So we went to a dog walking club event this evening and Cane did very well. Only six other dogs showed up and they were all smaller than Cane but he had a good time and acted like a true gentleman (which was a relief).

Same Ol' Cane

Cane has come along way since we adopted him. He still has the separation anxiety and occasionally escapes. There have been a couple of recent unauthorized excursions.

1. He was at pet camp and cleared their fence, went down the road and found a couple other dogs behind a fence. So he cleared that fence too and played with his new friends. I rec'd a call thanks to his personaliazed collar with my number on it (dogIDcollar.com). That thing is worth it's weight in gold. Unfortunately I was in Mass. at the time, so his new buddies' Dad put him in the truck and took him back to pet camp. Typical Cane adventure.

2. The lawn people came and accidentally left the gate unlatched. It swung open and was unnoticed when I let hin out into the back yard. I just took a seat on the back porch and figured he was doing his business when Momma came home and asked where he was. I said he probably ran away (joking). So Momma looks around the side of the house and my joke came true. I said we could sit tight and he'd be back soon but Momma grabbed her keys and told me she'd take the car while I take the bike to look for him. By the time we got out the door, our neighbor was ringing the bell with cane in hand. Cane had pushed the neighbor dog (Bear) out of the way and went into their house to check things out. Nothing surprises me with this dog :)
