I added this post to the picture thread yesterday but I'm not sure how many people saw it. I have an update with pictures and a short video and thought it was a better fit for the story section:
Brought Luke Home!!

This was yesterday:
I'm really proud of Luke. We went for a walk down to the end of the driveway this morning and he was a little startled by the yellow bag that the newspaper was in since the wind was blowing and making it move. I encouraged him to come over and check it out and he slowly circled around it and moved closer. When he was a few inches away he looked like he wanted to play with it so I told him "get it!". He started bitting and pulling at it so I encouraged him to carry it with him - that's something I'd like him to do for us anyway and I figured, why not take advantage of the opportunity and incorporate it early on. I told him to bring it home and he dragged it about half way up the driveway - maybe about 100 yards! I kept telling him "bring it home" and saying "good boy, good boy". I really wish I had a camera with me to capture the moment!

Today:
We walked out to the end of the driveway and I told Luke to carry it home and he picked it up again and started trotting towards home with it. So proud of our little guy! Luckily I remembered to grab my camera before we headed out the door this morning. Enjoy!
