The tie out is up!

David finished the tie down while I was in class with Skooter. Yippee! Now I can put Skooter out and not worry about him jumping over the fence and running around the neighborhood. Moped stays in the yard so now I feel better letting them both out. One of the reading assignments for this week for Skooter is on 'Boundaries and Escaping'. That should be informative. Hopefully it will give me some suggestions for keeping him in the yard.

Skooter won't move off the deck when he's on the tie out. Silly dog. He's going to have to get used to being on tie out. It'll be an adjustment for him. Moped came out of the kennel and went out to go to the bathroom. He's back in his kennel after playing with Skooter for a little while. Skooter is back in but needs to go to the bathroom. He's going to have to be desperate before he moves off the deck I think.

It's the little things that make life great. Skooter finally was desperate enough to go to the bathroom on the tie down. That is huge progress! It only took him a few tries to figure out that he's not going anywhere so he might as well pee where he is. What an awesome dog!

Now they are both settled in again and it's nice and peaceful. At least until David gets home ;-) .
