Andy's dog Ballot goes to Charm School

[Generic Other]

Just got an email from Ted who said I could post these pics of Ballot in action. I think he's cuter than a panda or a kitten any day.

Says Ted:

Ballot is 6 months old and now weighs 7 1/4 lb. He loves his puppy class pals. In between jumping 2 ft. vertically he now can: Sit, Stay, Shake, & Leave It. We're still working on Come, Lay Down, Roll Over, & Give Me Five. He will be graduating from Puppy Training Class November 4th.

1. Ballot!!

I was wondering what happened to him!

Scout is currently working on how to sleep more soundly in the middle of the bed....

2. Is that Ballot's sibling?

Ballot is the cutest dog on the planet. But he had the sharpest puppy teeth ever. And jumping 2 feet into the air!

I can't even jump 6 inches!

For some reason, I was thinking about Ballot yesterday (I do think of Andy quite often), and here you are, posting these adorable pictures! Thank you so much. I'm so glad he and Ted have each other. I got to meet Ted at Andy's service, and was able to chat with him for a little while. A wonderful man!
