OTIS:

I thought of you w/the weather forecast this past week. We had a few flakes but nothing stuck. Bet you are glad to have things wind down. Sounds like Otis’ Mom is a celebrity! Congratulations! Otis had been doing really good but this past week has been testing us again w/jumping and, I guess, playful biting, although a bit rough. We make him settle but if it continues he gets a time out which usually works. Working on a long line so he can get some running in, he loves it! He went to a grooming school recently and came back SO beautiful, looked like velvet. They all loved him. I had him to the vet for a lump on the top of his head (doesn’t seem to be serious but we are watching) and she says he is just a teenager, pushing limits. He starts another set of classes this week so we are looking forward to that. I think we need some geese for him to herd!
