[JackiesZoo]

Well, Oliver's cough is gone, he's had all his shots, been neutered, and talk of the dog flu in this area has died down, so Sunday we took him to the park. We wanted to see how he would react to the people and zoo animals in the park, since he'll be going with us to Mackinac Island. He barks a lot of home and I was afraid we were going to have a problem. He didn't make one peep the whole time we were at the park. He walked on his leash pretty as you please, didn't even look at the pony or geese or any of the other animals, and let two little girls pet him (they asked first). The only trouble was he had outgrown his harness, so he'll be getting a new one. Good job Oliver!
