Buddy 37.6# and he really likes the liver treats. He'll pick up his pace outside if he's already walking toward me when I call with a treat in my hand. He'll even look at me when I say his name. All for a bit of liver cookie.
I think we can say he has mastered paw, shake, and high-five. He sits very well but not for very long. Down is in progress, if he thinks there might be a treat, and not for very long.
The long leash is working very well for exercise, body and brain, but we have worn a spot of hair off his chest with the harness. We fix one problem and create another; perhaps a pad on the gentle leader will help.
This weekend was the perigee moon, the closest pass of the year. To our surprise the sky was mostly clear and what clouds were there only made the sky more beautiful all night long, both nights.

Worm Moon
from Space Weather
WORM MOON: Tonight's full Moon has a special name--the Worm Moon. It signals the coming of northern spring, a thawing of the soil, and the first stirrings of earthworms in long-dormant gardens. Step outside tonight and behold the wakening landscape. "Worm moonlight" is prettier than it sounds.

Full Worm - March Moon
Full Worm - March Moon As the temperature begins to warm and the ground begins to thaw, earthworm casts appear, heralding the return of the robins. The more northern tribes knew this Moon as the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signaled the end of winter; or the Full Crust Moon, because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night. The Full Sap Moon, marking the time of tapping maple trees, is another variation. To the settlers, it was also known as the Lenten Moon, and was considered to be the last full Moon of winter. Farmer's Almanac
It's a good thing I saw the worm moon this morning. From the Barony, it had already set as I drove down the hill to work at 6:30, but when I was half way up Julian Pike it exploded out of the trees and hung over the Allegheny Front, not a cloud in the sky. An incredibly beautiful sight. We are expecting 1-2" wet snow tonight.
