Wish us luck...we'll need it

So Boo and I are going to his first doodle romp today, and I'm worried. Sad

I used to be excited about the romp, but Boo has been getting into a lot of trouble these last few days at the dog park. Yesterday was the worst- he chased a toy poodle out of the dog park (which isn't fenced, but enclosed by hills) and across the surrounding park. Evil or Very Mad

I knew he wouldn't hurt the poodle because we've taught him to be gentle to little dogs, but it was still NOT ACCEPTABLE. Just when we thought the training and all our hard work was finally starting to pay off. Crying or Very sad

The great thing about a doodle romp is the all/most of the dogs are the same size. I'm sure she won't be the most assertive one there. They are so much fun, enjoy!

Boo will be fine, you'll see! At the romps I've been to, the doods spend a good deal of their time chasing each other. It is a neat experience. They seem to know their own kind. Cool

Most importantly, next to the camera Wink

, is HAVE FUN! It is going to be beautiful weather so relax and enjoy the day with all the doodles and their people.

Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement! I read them before we left and felt more optimistic. Smile

And...Boo was good! Phew, I’m so relieved! He was kinda bored because none of the other doodles wanted to wrestle and play rough, but he behaved himself. There were actually a lot of shy/timid doodles, so I had to re-direct him a lot, but he accepted it. I could tell that he was trying hard to be a good boy, so I’m very proud of him. Afterwards he got a new toy as a reward!
