Every time we take Charlie out and about wearing his "clothes", people inevitably stop us to ask all about his duty to Tim and how he's progressing in his training. We always proudly respond with tales of his one-of-a-kind demeanor and eagerness to learn all the basic doggie type commands.But lately we've been playing a game with Charlie that seems to be unintentionally enriching the developing bond between Tim and Charlie. We call the game Find Tim and give the command "Go get Tim" or "Go find Tim." Aside from having the obvious benefit of teaching Charlie to keep track of Tim, we've seen that this game always leads to a rollicking romp between kid and dog. This, in turn, leads to a happy kid and a happy dog just happy to be together. It's a joy to see!
