I wanted to do it with Callie but I'm not sure she would have been completely comfortable in that setting.

Brittany, we went to Home Depot today. I had to carry Max because he doesn't like the tall shelving, but Teddy walked alongside me and didn't bother anyone who passed us. Not bad for being out of practice.

There was a Shih Tzu riding around in a cart and barking. My boys didn't make a peep.

I took Joey into Lowes when he was still a pretty young pup and it like terrified him he squeaked and then threw up.

Poor little guy. Max gingerly takes a step, has to stop, look up, then he takes another step. I decided to just carry him.

I would be one of the annoying people to stop you and say hello to your pups. Who can resist Jackson and Lola?

Thank goodness we were pretty much ignored today. A couple of the employees said nice things, but didn't try to engage or touch. I wish there was a way to indicate to people to ignore the dogs for training purposes, something more than a colored leash -- which most people wouldn't understand or know.

I'm pretty sure M&T would both fail CGC , but I would like to test them just to see what they would do. I'm always fascinated to see how they behave in various situations, things outside of our routine. It's kind of like watching a puppy experience something for the first time.
