Yesterday was our summer day of our internship with Debra (we will hopefully be returning in the fall, in just a few weeks) and I know Nelson is going to be sad. He adores being at Debra's, and has gotten very used to sitting in his crate while we do work. Well yesterday we decided Nelson could meet one of her dogs, Tucker. Boy was Tucker sweet to BBN. He was herding Nelson like he was a sheep... constantly on him, licking him ALL over, following him everywhere, and not once did Tucker let out a growl or look anything but happy. It was fantastic. While Nelson seemed a little uneasy about a big dog being all over him, he did really well. After getting slobbered on that day, I thought it was a great time for Nelson to take his first bath. I've always thought Nelson loved water because when we go by sprinklers he literally jumps in them and plays, so I had high hopes for his bath. He did not let me down. While he did try to get out when I would get water in his ears, he did not mind the bath at all. He sat in there like a good boy, and now he smells fantastic, and his coat is so soft. My goal is to take Nelson to the Shawnee Mission Dog Park when he gets all his shots so he can swim in the pond.
We hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.
With Love, Ellen & Nelson
