My Smokey is white with a gray patch on part of his butt, tail and left back leg.

That's him at like 5 weeks in the little picture under my name.


I took him out on his first walk this weekend. He did pretty good. Also took him to the park... He had fun running around with me and trying to trip me.
We only stayed about 20 minutes though cuz his attention span was gone and he was just eating grass.


But the best thing happened this morning! I was in the kitchen making my lunch to bring to work & he was in his crate in the living room. He was sleeping when I came down but then I heard a little bark, so I went & let him out. He followed me to the back door, waited while the shutters opened and promtly went to a good spot and went pee! (Before he just would have done it right outside his crate or in it. He never did get the don't go where I sleep thing.) He came right back to the door, I tried to get him to poo (gross?? sorry!) but he didn't want to. Then about 20 minutes later we were up in my room & Smokey was just sitting on the floor staring at me so I asked my boyfriend to go see if maybe he wanted to go outside. Adam said that Smokey followed him down the stairs, to the door, waited while Adam opened it and then went right outside to a good spot and went #2. Yay!! Now, this could have been a fluke but I think it's a good sign!


We're working on him responding to his name (not coming to me, but just paying attention to me) and he's doing good at that, too. It's just nice to see some of our work paying off.

That's it for now.
