Subject: Butler update - back in Athens........GOOD NEWS!!!!!

We got into Athens Sunday night around 10:30. Apprently Butler had some remembrance of being here because as Scott was checking us in, he sat quietly in the back of the Jeep. Two guys walked by and I didn't hear a peep; thought he had gone back to sleep. I turned around to check and he was watching out the window. Good boy.

This morning at 7:30 (after Scott had left for work), we woke up to what sounded like someone dropping a 12 ton ball from the sky into the parking lot. The garbage collector's were emptying the dumpsters. Butler raised up and looked around and I said, "Sshhhhh, it's OK". No growl, no bark - he just went right back to sleep.

After breakfast I took him across the street to potty and he stopped to say hello to the security guard and a maintenance man (who did get a kiss before I realized it). There were kids walking to school, and I'd have him sit/stay until they passed. No bark, no growl, nothing. Very good boy.

I truly believe that when we were here before he was just caught off guard by the new experience/sounds, etc. He seems happy and is not stressing at all. I took him to daycare just after breakfast so I can study for my exam on Thursday. I'm anxious to pick him up and walk through town tonight.
