    Edsel and I met a friend and her 1 year old Yorkie in town for a walk this evening. Lovely weather leading to lots of walkers, joggers, cyclists and other pups. My friend commented several times on how well mannered Edsel was and I was wondering who replaced my pulling, lunging maniac with this relatively calm and unaffected pup. He must have been putting on a show for the Yorkie, Ms. Wrigley. Playing it cool for the ladies! ;) We've been working on focusing on me when meeting or passing by people and pets. Just didn't think it was getting anywhere until tonight. I was very proud of him and he was rewarded with 30 minutes of chase the ball around the house like a loon!

    Ms. Wrigley was quite smitten! Edsel even let her drink from his dish before we left. He's quite the player!
