So yesterday I thought I would be smart and go to Petland and buy Duke a gentle-lead. The gentle-lead goes around Duke's nose and attachs to his leash... this way, when he pulls, it pulls his head down, so he learns to walk nice. It works really well with Peeka and Boo, and I have been so sick and tired of Duke pulling my arm out of the socket everytime we go for a walk, that I thought I would give it a try...
Well... it works a little too well. Once you put it on Duke, he freezes. He doesn't move. He's petrified of it!! All he does is lie down and roll around in the grass (snow is his favorite, but that's getting pretty hard to come by) and tries to get it off. This morning I went for an hour walk and got as far as four houses down and back. Hopefully pretty soon he gets used to it, or it's back to the drawing board.

Even that type of leash didn't work for Domino, so consider yourselves lucky! I'm sure Duke will get used to it!
After working with Duke, having your baby is going to seem like a piece of cake!! I love the countdown meter you've added to your blog! I wonder how close it will come to the actual event?! Love you, Mom
