Marshall at the Movies

Well....more of a drive in.

On Friday night, a local church was offering a movie on their grounds. Young families, kids running, dancing, loud music, balls and frisbees flying. Kids running through the crowd past Marshall's face...snacks and popcorn treats on the blanket beside him, just within reach, which resulted in only a few of those puppy stretches that is really pushing the boundaries of a true plotz, but a little "ah ah" redirected his attention to treats of his own for a good response.

Marshall was alert and watched the balls flying, started to get up a few times to chase them, but was quickly redirected to sit or plotz. Just a few corrections to sit to allow some kids to pet him, I explained that he needed to learn how to sit still for his job.

With all those wonderful distractions, Marshall pretty much layed at my feet through all the comotion. Having gotten there a little too early, we took a few little walks around to let him stretch his legs.

And I actually got to watch the entire movie!
