Banks is very lucky to have such a dedicated parent! i wish you were in OUR class! |
Thanks for the tip! I'm thinking maybe a few times a week in day care would be good for him. He won't have me to run to - not that I don't like it, I just want him to be cool around other dogs. Things are just so expensive here!! I suppose the expense is worth it so that he doesnt get beat up at the dog park!
