A little unsure at first, more play than work, but your right.. he did seem to improve a little by the second pass, and was a little taken back on his attempt to go a third time.
Jake and I fully agree, he needs a LOT of work, but with a little time and some patience and good dogs to be around (who also have patience with him), he'll come around. My hopes were defiantly heighten last night. Even if he doesn't turn out to be a GREAT dog, we have a foundation to start again with a pup.
Next weekend sounds good, we really enjoy you two and need to do "Dinner and a Movie" nights more often.
