Yay! Norway is a Good Canine Citizen!

[ellenmillion]

We had to do the meeting a friendly dog twice before he wouldn't pull, and he was quite anxious at the start of the enforced separation, but Norway did it! He passed the test!

You would not guess that we went for a 6 or 7 mile hike beforehand... at least not if you looked at Norway... you might have been able to tell if you looked at ME.

I am flopped down in my easy chair now, and ready to write!

Or fall asleep. We'll have to see...

Did they pass on the squeaky toy, or did he successfully resist that temptation?

Also, yay!

They did not end up using a squeaky toy (whew!), but used a dropped clipboard and some other noises, instead, which he found not the slightest alarming.

Yay!

My dog would freak at a loud sound. She's a scardy dog.

Congratulations to Norway on passing the test!

(And to you as well for taking him on a hike, bleeding off all that energy, so he can focus better. You're a good canine parent!)

Congratulations!

It backfired - he was all wound up and I was ready for a nap. :P
