I had a pleasant, civil walk with my dog this morning.

It was not always like that.

Archie is a rescue.

When we first got him it was a constant upper body workout to keep him from pulling me off my feet.

Three years, two classes, a couple changes in harness and some YouTube videos.

Now he looks up at me if I stop walking.

We’re not going to win any prizes.

Other excited dogs can make him forget everything.

But in comparison to where we started – kinda amazing.

What are situations like this in your life?
