BREAKTHROUGH BEFORE BEDTIME!

I had just finished baking a batch of liver bits which were supposed to be for class tomorrow, but class got moved to next Saturday because of venue problems (who knew venue problems existed outside of theatre?). Odie's still going out tomorrow though to get checked. Saw a pink spot near his shoulder, which was covered by matted fur. Eep! I digress.

I brought out some tiny bits of baked liver just for him to have a taste (he hasn't had any since yesterday). Lo and behold, I tried the sit-stand-down and its permutations, and he got EVERY SINGLE ONE!!! I was so happy I may have given him some jackpot treats! Okay, it wasn't as perfect as it sounds, there were times I said "sit" and he did "down", but would rectify the situation and do a "sit" in a split second, perhaps upon realizing his mistake.

Too bad I wasn't ready for such a breakthrough so I didn't have my camera ready. That should serve as a reminder for me to not leave any session undocumented!

Because I'm still churning words for our New Year entry, let me give a sneak peek of how it went...

Scaredy dog was silent all night.

Happy New Year, everyone! :D
