Today, for breakfast, I ate five crescent rolls, a banana, and kiwi. Yummy! I don't get crescent rolls much at all. It was like a treat for me.

Each girl took her dog out. We each did drills of practicing going right and left with the dogs. We had to work on correcting our dogs. Some of us explained how to do these exercises right after we did them. All of us went to the North bench outside the kennel. At least some of us practiced going around the kennel with our dogs. I suppose all of us girls were supposed to, but I'm not sure if that's what happened.
We walked back to the dorm or house. Each girl had to take and try to get our dogs to do some business. Mine didn't do anything. We then went to our rooms and gave them water.

We ate rice with vegetables and meat mixed in it. It was great!
 
Next, went to the poop square, as it's known. The girls' dogs that didn't do anything before, went to the poop square. We had leave our dogs in our rooms for a while. Later, Ian came to get me to practice and get used to the four corners. The four corners is a four way intersection. He was going to take me but then the adults had to discuss some sort of thing.

I went back into my room and played tug of war with my dogs. A couple of times, I threw the  rope. I was trying to play fetch, but that didn't seem to work. My dog did not understand I think.

Finally, after a few more disruptions, I practiced the four corners. I had to tell which streets are perpendicular to me and parallel to me. I figured out directions of where I was  facing and where the kennel and house was to me. I had to fix some mistakes, though. I, of course, veered into the street. There's a street that's bumpier and made it harder than the smoother ones. I did that  more than once.

 I went back to the house and I waited for some time. I tried to  take a nap but that didn't work, either. I let Meredith visit with her mom.

I went out this time with my dog. I went out another  time. This time,I worked with my dog on crossing the four corners. Although, this time, I did three crossings, instead of four. My dog messed  up, as well. She had the same problem I'd done except to the left. I finally finished my work for the day.

I ate zucchini, potato, and celery blended soup. There was chicken breast, potatoes, and peas and carrots mixed together. There was dessert, as  well. I chose not to eat   it. It was strawberries with cream or something like that on it. That's all for now.
