Injured Friend Billie, the poodle, is not only the office dog, but he also likes to ride along with me on days when I am making sales calls or doing other business. When I go to the home office, he comes along and waits patiently on the couch, watching out the window. He can keep track of the goings on outside while waiting for me to quit doing whatever I am doing on the computer. He knows if he waits long enough, I will eventually go do something more exciting than sit at my desk. When we leave on a trip to town or a business call, there is a routine. I first take off his electronic collar which causes great excitement. When the collar comes off, he knows for sure that we are going to go do something fun. He happily loads up and we drive past the limit of his control collar. It does not matter if his collar is on or off, there is a line he will not cross. After reaching this point in the driveway, I let him out to run. Like a little kid, there are a couple of things that need to be taken care (Outdoors cont’d on pg 2)
