Candee Day
Arlington, Washington
Just to wish you a merry Christmas and let you know this morning, before it started to rain, I was doing the poop patrol and Patriot wanted something (possibly a treat) and so he had to work for it. I cleaned up his feet and did the usual side passing, left and right turns, head up and head down. He started to paw at the ground so I told him that he was counting. I then pawed at the ground with my foot and tapped his foot and told him to count. He gave me the greatest Christmas present I could have asked for. For the next 10 minutes or so we continued our games and included the counting game, which he did with ease. He doesn't seem to know he is only 5 but we are working on that. Dennis it brings me to tears to know that he is so smart and that I found someone (you) who taught me that he could do just about anything that I was smart enough to teach him. Thank you for the wonderful gift you are sharing with me. If I never do anything else in my life, communicating with my guy is enough for me. Patriot thanks you too. He just asked me the other day. Where the hell is Dennis? Didn't know he could talk did you?
Hope you have a wonderful holiday, talk to you soon.
Candee and Patriot
