***An
update from
Booker’s
family:
"Booker continues to do
well. He really is a sweetheart. Our cat, Tigger,
keeps trying to get Book to play with him but so far, Booker has
declined. It is obvious that it is going to
happen one day.
We had our friends and
their dog, Sage, over for dinner on Saturday. Booker
barked his little head off when they came in. We did a
time out and our friends ignored Booker as instructed.
It took about half an hour for Booker to calm down enough to stay
in the living room with us all and about another half hour before
he settled down completely. However, after that he sat by
Sage to get treats and they went outside together to go to the
bathroom. We were pleased at how it went.
Our other friends came
down with the flu last week so we had to put our little "meet
and greet" sessions with their dog, Mikey, on hold for a
time. Monday we had two sessions that went fairly well and
we took a short walk together on the second session. Yesterday things went well enough with the "meet and
greet" that we actually did a full walk together. It is
so great to watch Booker make progress.
In short, we are pleased as
punch with Booker."
