Really glad to hear that kimbo is okay

Just wanted to add my two sense-Jaeger's stealth ninjaing of people food has gotten way better as he has gotten older-there have been a few times I've accidentally dropped dog friendly food (and not so dog friendly food) on the floor and not raced to yell at him not to get it, and he'll sit there looking up at me waiting for me to tell him if its okay to take it.
We've really worked on 'leave it' and 'drop it' and it has helped so much.

As for him accidentally getting things like half a slice of pizza-it was up on a nightstand as far away as possible and he was in the other room when I had sat it there. I was sitting right next to the pizza the entire time but I've got no peripheral vision and he is very low to the ground. In addition, I've got a processing disorder (missing my corpus callosum) so my reflexes are a bit slow, especially thought to speech in regards of reaction times.I try to be vigilant, and I try to train my dog to work with my deficits (and its helped a lot!) but in the end, whether I have 'issues' or not, accidents do happen. It doesn't make us bad pet parents.
