Ok, so I've decided that every small step is going to be a huge celebration that way there is
less pressure on the final destination.

Today I was at the park with Scout playing our usual ball game. Another dog came
running up and Scout and him started playing. While they were playing the owner came
up to me and we started talking. Scout didn't even notice! He came close to me and
checked in and it was like he didn't even see the stranger. I had told the owner that he
was shy so she ignored him. Usually Scout's tail goes between his legs and his head goes
down when any stranger was around. This was a really unusual great event! I gave him
lots of praise and treats. I don't know what was going on with him today, but I don't care
it felt great.

Tomorrow we are going to the beach. I will be armed with hot dogs so hopefully he will be
motivated to be his ole regular wagging tail self!
