Here
are some pictures from earlier in the summer of Friday swimming and
playing with his friends up at the cottage. He has gained a bit
of weight since these were taken and is up to 56 lbs.
He is
still quite a shy boy, but now knows his name, comes (most of the way)
when he's called and can "sit", "wait" and "lay down". We are
working on coming right up to people, and being ok with new poeple we
meet in the street.
He
likes running along the river in the evening, although I think he
finds my pace a little slow. As always, he is a dog's dog, and
loves playing at the park, where I have started letting him off lead
except with his little handle (you can see it in the photos) so that I
can catch him to bring him home.
Hope
things are well there, and thanks again for my wonderful running
partner.
Update December ‘20
Friday is doing amazing. You would never know he is approaching 10
years old, except for his distinguished greys. Although still timid
around strangers he is much more confident. Friday even rides the
streetcar at our new home in Toronto. He loves swimming in Lake
Ontario daily, even when there is ice, and playing with other dogs and
small children. Enjoy some updated photos of my most handsome boy.
