It started with a trip to the pet store/s. I took Leann with me to pick out a new bumper. It's been a while since I've had her on an outing with just the two of us. She was such a sweet angel. She used the new car ramp without a fuss and didn't crowd the door to get out of the car when we pulled up to the stores.
A toddler wanted to meet her. I wasn't sure if Leann remembered her toddler manners, but an added concern was the apple slice the toddler was holding in his hand. (One of Leann's favorites!). Leann sat and gently greeted the toddler. Never once trying to get the apple. The toddler actually offered the apple to her, (seriously) and Leann took it very gently and then gave him a gentle kiss.
She was so wonderful in the stores, ignoring other dogs, laying down (on her own), when I paid for stuff. I was so proud of her.
I decided to push my luck and took all three dogs to a local public park this afternoon. They were just amazing! They didn't pull to meet other dogs, they sat quietly to let pedestrians and bicyclers pass. They did some leash tangling, but over-all a very nice walk.
I haven't had a day like this in a long time. It's nice to know they do remember their manners.
