People are so mean. It will take a long time to get over the looses. I still recall all the things I had to just leave as I ran out of time to take to storage or just didn't see them to grab. Thank goodness you have DS.

Boy & Ddil had planned on going to get my MN storage in Mar Apr this year. I don't even like to think about.

Oh well, I have waited this long. People tell me to trash the stuff. NO! I just can't.

Knowing people broke into your house makes me so mad. I just hope many things may still be hidden under the mess and may yet be found & saved.

As for charlie, he is developing new behaviors plus I am letting him be on his own by stepping into the house when do laps. I discovered by accident that whether I go in the front door or the back Charlie lays down and waits for me to come out again.

I was stunned and impressed. I never taught him that.

I started going up on the area above the wall to put nuts in the squirrel cup. Charlie does not come with me but runs along the driveway with his ball...putting it on the wall so I can toss it in the yard.

But when I want to go in the house after the laps Charlie may decide he's not ready. So he goes past the front door and marks by the fence corner. And watches for dogs. I usually walk up to him and tell him to Home!

Mostly he's goes to the door- but sometimes he walks past the well then turns left along the gate then walks a bit faster to the wall and jumps up and checks the road fence area to see if the dogs from across the street have marked there.

I always climb up and walk with him. It may take a few moments till he jumps down from where I climb down, then after I am on the driveway we go in the house. Lol

Smart puppy.

The other thing he now does is while we do a lap he has his spots where he always drops his ball for me to throw. In one I walk over him and he backs up as I do. Lolol

But when have gotten to the far ne corner once in a while he pauses and stands if he smells or senses something. He suddenly takes off for the fence along the road up from the back porch. It is quit something to see him race full out. He is very beautiful.

He will do the same full out run from the gate to the back nw corner but thats when he sees or smells deer or Guinea Hens. Lol

But the latest new thing is that he is decides he wants to go home and if I say home he calmly strolls along with me from where ever we are to either the front or back door.

Amazing. Absolutely wonderful to watch him now.
