Jumping for Joy!

Buddy is jumping for joy to be back blogging! Okay, he's jumping for treats. Got bored today and decided to teach him a new trick; Jump! And boy, did he look cute doing it. I was a bit worried about teaching it to him, because I knew he could easily think that meant it was okay to jump at other times, and because I figured when I asked him to sit he would mistake it for jumping. So I had to make sure to use a very different hand signal for jump than I did sit. So now, his signal to jump is me moving my hand in a u shape from right to left, and his signal to sit is still me moving my hand over his head. He was quick to figure out what I wanted from him, and the difference in the two signals. I love how smart he is!

This could easily be my favorite
