Day 7

It is Sunday! Tony is doing so well that I thought I'd treat him to a new collar, leash and harness. We went to the dog store that hosted the meet and greet - Tony looks snazzy! Molly wears lots of red and now I have Tony in very autumn colors. We took a walk to the Frankfort Farmers Market - turned into a bad idea or maybe I should say too much too soon! Tony turned into Cujo - he didn't have his big sister along, he had on a new harness system, he didn't know me well enough to trust me - could that have been the problem? He also tried to go after a girl on roller blades - was it the child or the blades? Is this a bad sign? He was WILD! I took him out of the area, over to a quiet side, we just sat and watched everyone go by then we got up and walked on the Old Plank Trail and worked on passing other dogs - positive results - I didn't want him leaving the area with a negative feeling. Tony fell asleep in the car on the ride home. A tired dog is a good dog - is this a good time to let Molly and Tony walk around together for a little bit? It sure was! They ran around a little and then both fell asleep in the sun on the rug by the front door. It was a good day and an emotional day - are Tony's true colors coming out? Was he hiding problems at the shelter?
