Rain, Rain, Stay all Day!

Man, Its been raining since Thursday night! Four straight days!

Yesterday we had family over for some early gift exchanges. Upon their arrival, Decker started to growl. Matt was right beside him, and he got corrected for the growl and put into his crate on the front porch. Later I let him into the house, so not to miss on an opportunity to help him desensitize to people.

He was unsure at first, then one of Matt's sisters offered him a chip and he was hooked! I brought out some dog treats and he accepted them from the three relatives that were here. He also spent four or five hours in the kitchen/family rooms with everyone, and had a good time.

Today was more rain, no outside exercise for the dogs again! On to the treadmill. Tam was first. She gets in the "zone", and travels when she is on the treadmill. She went 40 minutes at a slow trot.
