Tucker had a busy day today, and did very well. We went to the Haywood Mall, and then on the bank, both first time visits. (I have to say that the teller seemed a little irritated that there was a dog in her bank, but she'll just have to get used to us!) Anyways, at the mall Tucker was relaxed and in great form, but couldn't quite figure out those people up on the second level (How do they do that?). He strutted his stuff, resisted squealing children, didn't wet on anything, and walked right past a piece of food on the floor after a quiet "leave it" from me.

Later in the day we went to the Bob Jones campus (first time also) and walked at the athletic fields. We stopped for a while and he watched an outside basketball game - got a little excited at first and then settled down. Then came the real test - watching soccer practice! We sat right behind the goal, so balls regularly came over the top right towards us. After only a couple corrections he learned to let them go past. But he was still absolutely quivering with excitement - and I can see in my mind the chaos that would have erupted if he had been off leash!

He hasn't been car sick in a long time - I hope we're past that. Sometimes I can see he's been drooling a little, but that's all.
