Best Tricks:
Stretching, wrestling with bigger dogs, his new thing is breaking apart his biscuits and hiding them so that he can eat them later. I always throw away the biscuits and he's bummed out when he goes back to his hiding places and doesn't find his biscuits.

Arrival Story:
I drove from SF to LA and back to SF in one day, a total of 16 hours. It was worth it but I'm still half asleep and half awake. Bart's breeders were great people and his siblings were really cool.

Bio:
He's single but the female dogs are barking to get at him. Bart is an exceptional dog, he is somewhat housebroken, can be walked without a leash, and comes when called.

I have a new addiction of going to the dog park with Bart. What started as 15 minute trips have grown to become 1-2 hour outings. Their seems to be a very particular social dynamic at the dog park between the dogs, the owners, and the dogs and the owners. I don't know if this social phenomena has been studied but I find it to be a very fascinating subject. I always loved people watching when I was a kid and watching Bart grow up before my eyes is great. He is gaining confidence and tries to make friends with every dog, even when they snarl and bark at him. He nips more than I would like and is often found with a mouthful of fur. I don't like seeing that in his mouth and I am sure the owner of the other dog isn't very pleased.
