Wow a lot has happened. Mom got me my very own vest so no more borrowing Jameels' vest. My new vest is blue and after some minor adjustments fits me great. She has also started taking me into stores. I know I posted about her taking me into one but I forgot to post how great I did. That was my very first time in a store other then a pet store and I did awesome. I stayed right beside my mom walking to the store and then stayed right beside her while we were in the store. I didn't try to get attention from anyone or jump on the counters or anything. Well the other night mom brought me into another store and this one was much busier. Lots of people shopping. Mom was proud of me. I was clearly nervous and was fidgety but I was listening to mom and going where she told me too. I ignored all the shopping carts and didn't try to chase after kids that ran past. That's something mom has been working with me on because being a herding breed I was trying to do that. I did try to jump on the counter we stopped at once but mom caught me and corrected me quietly and I went back down to the floor without touching it with my paws at all. Dad was surprised by how good I did but mom wasn't. She knew I would do good. I can't wait to see where we go next. Oh and the vaccumm monster isn't so bad after all. In fact I got so good around it that mom had to stop working with me around it because I just simply started knocking it over instead of being scared of it. She said the next step is to get me to be calm when it's moving and then we will work on me staying calm when it's making noise.
