Willow pUpdate

Today was a big day for Willow. She got to run free at the dog park, and she was A Very Good Girl. At one point she was puttering along with a group of seven dogs, so I was very proud of her.

Willow has also met lots of new people without any fuss. She now seems to like men more than women, and is happy to accept pets from anyone!

Barking is the behavior we still have to work on - our house isn't the best for that problem. Ginny knows she's not supposed to bark, so she says, 'mff!' very quietly. But it's enough to get Murphy going, and that gets Willow going and you'd think the world was ending but actually a squirrel just ran up a tree in the yard.

Over all, Willow is just the sweetest little girl, and her confidence and manners are improving every day.
