So proud!!

I am just so proud of Napoleon, I just have to tell everybody.

From the beginning, we have had issues with his attitude. He is not bad, but he plays rough and is just not a gentle dog. We train constantly on sit, stay and no jump. Anyway, a co-worker wanted to bring her mom to meet Napoleon. She was raised with boxers and loves them. The problem is, she is blind and I was afraid he would jump on her. So I finally agreed to let her come over after about 6 months. We sat her down in a chair and let Napoleon smell her. He sat down and put his paw on her leg. That was it. He just sat there, licking her hand.

My son & I were in shock. He has never done anything like this before. Usually when somebody comes in the door, he starts jumping, barking and kidney beaning. He was being the perfect little gentleman.
I have always heard that animals sense things like this, I guess it is true.

Just had to brag!

That's great! My super hyper Sugar Ray runs through my sisters house taking in all the smells but he always slows down around my nephew (who isn't quite 2 yet) and stops long enough to give him a slobber on the cheek and then continues to burn around and around.
