To the Gulfport Petsmart 26 Aug, at 4:45PM to see Darwin probably graduate from the "Beginner's" Class.

He's improved, but he still has a way to go. He was meeting more dogs in the store, but is still scared of people with darker skin. He was also fascinated with a girl with long hair like mine so that was funny to watch: his wanting to follow her and looking back at me confused. He did "shake" two times in a row, and he will sit with me just doing a hand signal. He went up and met a Great Dane (puppy who was as scared as he is) and was a good boy. I was just bursting with pride. He even sniffed the gerbil cage, which he'd never done before.

I think I might continue the training for him. It's so good for his brain and he loves his special Mommy times.
