Schroeder update 11.5.09

Schroeder has grown to a nice size, still long and lean. Not sure if he is finished growing. He has good days and annoying days. He likes to eat deer, rabbit, and goose poop any chance he gets. He also has discovered that rolling on anything that smells is great fun. Like a typical teenager some days he listens to commands( like come )and other days I call him he will stop and look at me think about it a second , and then decide. He loves going to the dog park to see his friends. Schroeder likes to wrestle when he plays, I think he is finally learning that not all dogs want to play rough. He still is not sure about children, he is a little afraid of them but is getting better. I started using the the gentle walker on him because he was pulling alot, and he is very strong. When the harness is on he will not pull. He still will grab the leash and want to play tug of war, he also picks up every stick, plastic bottle, trash along the way. Schroeder has also discovered squirrels. Schroeder seems to find joy in everything and thinks life is a big game, he seems to have a sense of humor.
