This past weekend, owing to celebrations at the seminary, Brother Christopher of New Skete was in our area. And during break time I easily convinced him to walk with me to our house and see Josie again. He last held her in his arms when we were picking her up from the monastery at the end of April. He's the main trainer at New Skete, and also the main author of their best-selling books that have been so instrumental in our own life with Josie.
He saw our Josie-lifestyle in all its chaos, and affirmed it all. He also gave us invaluable advice on a couple of outstanding matters of obedience and heeling that Patricia, especially, has been applying with great results. She'd already been heeling quite well on our morning walks, but walking ever so slightly too far ahead. Not pulling, but ahead of where she should be. If you're dying to know his advice, write in with a comment to this entry!
We'll be seeing Br. C. again in early October, when he will spend the night with us owing to some local commitments. Looking forward, even as we plan our next visit to New Skete.
