we had ourselves a little new year's outting. it was great! we have a visiting manager who wanted to meet skittles, so i took him in to work this morn for a little visit. he enjoyed it for the most part. when we first got there our cosmetics girl insisted on walking up and trying to touch skittles,

which got her a nip and a yell and made him nervous. But after i made it clear that i wouldnt let anyone else touch him, he mellowed out a bit. he really didnt talk much today. which could have been any of several reasons or the combination of them all: nancy touching him right away, we went outside cause a customer wanted her mom to see him and he spotted a hawk in the sky (we went back inside at that point), he didnt get a good nite's sleep last nite, and his least favorite person was at the store. but i know he enjoyed himself cause when i started to leave he leaned away from the door.

then when we got home, he wanted to stay outside for a bit. he even got on the ground and walked around in the grass for a few minutes. Now he's high on his favorite swing calming down from his exciting morning and dozing. yay skittles!

he's doing so well!
