1. Maple now sits reliably. She knows to sit before coming into the house, before she gets her food, and when I call her to me.
2. She is starting to get the hang of toileting outside. Last night she had a poop, and then looked at me all expectantly waiting for me to click the clicker and tell her she was a good girl.
3. She finally understands the hand signal for drop and I no longer need to lead her down into position with a treat.
4. She is starting to be happy being outside when I am inside. She will happily play with Gromit outside, but usually once she realizes that I have snuck into the house, she is at the door whining to come in. But yesterday and today she will give a quick whine, and then run back out to play with Gromit for a while. Right now she is very happy outside and has not asked to come in at all yet - probably because Gromit has deigned to allow Maple to lay on his sack bed with him, albeit at his backside and facing the opposite direction.
5. The 9 yo daughter took Maple to school for news this morning. She was a huge hit with the class and played up her cuteness by squiggling in daughter's lap to get in a position to be able to lick daughter's face and nibble on her ear. Next week sometime 6yo son will probably get to take Maple to school for his classroom news.
6. Pictures to be uploaded later this afternoon or evening.
