Silas and I had took our walk into the steps to nowhere this morning. This is not an official name but the one I use to keep it a secret. This place is full of grouse. We walked about a half a mile along a tram road and then came back. He jumped into the stream to cool off. He took a long, fast leap into the water. This was his first time to play and swim in water. I just stood there and watched. I guess water is not an issue for him. He is now working in front of me on our walks. I try to keep the wind in our face. He is also beginning to explore more boldly on his own. He is also starting to chase robins, etc. He has pointed quite a few bees. I haven't weighed him in two weeks so he must be 15 or so pounds now. He is really getting tall and lanky. I don't really do any training with him at this point other than regular obedience around the house and yard. I just want him to explore and gain some confidence in the covers we walk. I have started some very light, early whoa training and he is doing well with it. He is a very smart dog!
