Shawn - I am so proud of you both (you and Keeper). Just keep practicing and he will learn and have the routine down pat. The first show is always the hardest, since they do not know what to expect. And you know Keeper's personality - he is really smart and if he thinks he can get his way he will try with certain things, but he is such a sweety. I had a hard time with Gigi there for awhile too. She did great on the table when younger and when she hit her teenage stage - she decided that she did not like the table. I just kept taking her to the shows and practicing and she is so much better now.
Keeper is really turning out so nice! I think this is just the beginning and looks like you will have a lot of fun with him. Congratulations!!

P.S. Here is one of his baby photos to share with everyone, He had that something special even as a baby.
