Dash had a busy week last week! We have been working on Dash meeting the neighborhood dogs. He barks and barks whenever a dog passes by, so we figured it might help if he got to know the dogs. We have been on several walks with Tank. Dash wasn't too sure at first, but now looks forward to his time with Tank.

While I have been teaching summer school, Dash has been free to roam around the first floor of our home. For the first two weeks - no accidents (go, Dash)! Yesterday, when I arrived home I noticed he had peed on the living room rug. I think Dash holds his pee in the morning to mark certain spots and didn't mark enough. Today, I took Dash on a different route and came home to no accidents!
While I was cleaning up his accident yesterday I decided to vacuum the rug. Dash didn't like hated it. I have never heard him bark/cry like that. I think from now on one of us will take him for a walk while the other vacuums!
We have been working hard on teaching Dash a few simple commands. He is becoming more consistent with "sit" and "paw" without treats!

| good boy! |

| Dash gives me kisses as he also does paw |
 |
| Yay Dash! |
Today I decided to see how Dash would do if I went for a run... he can run for about .75 miles and then he's over it. He was awfully tired when we got home!
While I sat outside reading yesterday, Dash looked through the fence for his friend, Tank!

Dash is really learning how to play with his toys. He whips them around and will even bring them to me to throw. He will repeat this about three times and then he's over it. Considering he wouldn't even look at his toys when he arrived three weeks ago, he has come a long way!

We are off to pick up Tank for our walk!
