WI Spring Day

Grady is having a great day and has now given his approval to WI spring totally - My dog Cooper loves to play tennis and Grady has been watching him closely. Yesterday - when it was warm - Cooper was working with his trainees on showing them how the game is played and Grady instead of his usual running around and jumping started chasing the tennis balls and actually caught one! We decided that since that was reason for a celebration (and the fact that it is Cooper's birthday), we all celebrated with doggie ice cream - Grady loved it, Schroeder took awhile to get into it, but all enjoyed the celebrating just the same.
And now my little squirrel(Schroeder) - since it has been so nice the guys decided he needed to come with us for a walk - we were on a trail that is pretty isolated so I let him run and worked on teaching him to come back to me. At first he purposefully ignored me - but then figured out that not only did he get praised, but also a treat when he came. So now when you call him he becomes "Schroeder, Brown Racer" and comes running as fast as his little legs will take him! he thinks he is such a good explorer!
