Went by the house today to take care of stuff and brought Wally along,
figuring he'd enjoy the chance to sniff the old grass and stuff.
Boy did he ever. He immediately wanted to go sit on the porch that I've
taught him to do so many times. And then I took him to the fields we ran
on and practiced our ball catching and looooong distance recall and
retrieving and he was just so intense. Charging at me like he loves to
do when I call for a front from 90 feet away and just seeing how BIG his
eyes were - like he just got done eating 50 raw steaks. He would
literally jump up from the sit when I cued finish like we used to
practice when doing this.
He was having so much fun and so excited. He remembered all his pee-mail
spots and was checking out the grounds and re-marking his spots. So
funny he remembered them all like we came there yesterday.
Was so great to see him cutting loose and giving me his full speed
outside since there's OPEN GRASS to actually run around on. For a small
dog, he needs a lot of space now because of all the walking and running
he's done. He eats up ground almost like he's big and two strides and
he's through the strips of grass around here.
It was amazing that he remembered all our tricks and stuff we did. Our route, where he sniffs and pees, that we usually stop at the mail box to get the mail. The go-arounds too. He remembered how he can go around the light posts. It's been months since we did it, and he called it up through all that excitement.
