This weekend they had what is called the weekend swap at the prison, where another handler gets to have the hound for 2 days.  He did really great with his weekend handler and responded very well.  They went for plenty of walks and he did all his commands well, including doing some for other residents in the dorm.  Back at home base Sunday evening, he was happy to be back, which he didn't express by bounding around, but in his calm stare at his familiar handler.  He then slept like a new born pup in a pile of cozy comforters  (he loves comforters and blankets) next to her while she wrote her report.  He still doesn't care about toys, though he will fiddle with a treat-stuffed Kong, trying his hardest to get the treat out.  Tasty treats are his favorite; they make his mouth happy!
