So Yoda has learned to cross the street! His pampered little paws hate walking on stones or small gravel, so at one point during our walk, he wants to cross the street to the nice sidewalk on that side of the street instead of walking over the gravel. He saw a car coming, so he stopped all by himself before crossing. After the car passed, he ran across the street safely. I was so proud!
(Well, he was on a leash, but he did stop all by himself!)
And he's also learned how to get home by himself as well, as he led me the whole way during the walk, about nine blocks in all. He knew exactly where he was going, so I guess he's learned to walk me pretty darn well now! And he found the way home too after he did his marking all round the neighborhood and his daily business.
Yay for Yoda!
