I am SO thrilled that you had a good experience with the Gentle Leader and
that you and Leigh like the new behavior! I love hearing your stories of
Miss Maple, and I love all the rest of the Brier crew's stories as well.

I can't remember if I wrote the list or not but I changed Boomer's name this
week. He's now known as SPAWN OF SATAN (very big grin) and his call name is:

 (inserting bad word) BOOMER, WHAT ARE YOU EATING NOW??!!

All this from a wonderful puppy boy who's brains began leaking from his ears
just three days ago, lol.

Boomer and I are going to a Clicker Training Seminar at the end of April in
Juneau, and hopefully I'll be able to bring back enough knowledge to teach a
class here in town. No matter how many clean pair's of socks the heathen
drags out of the bedroom (he learned to get into Boyd's clean sock drawer)
he's still totally focused on mom. For now anyhow. That could change
tomorrow. That's what I'm afraid of, lol.

Anyhow... your post really made me feel great and I just wanted to tell you
good going!

Deb and Boomer
