Cause your growns up! And your growns up!

Our little Stewart is all growns up! Stewart completed a week of training and his parents are better off for it. While we still deal with the occasional "waking up at 5 in the morning" or "grabbing chicken bones out of the trash can," Stewart can sit in an elevator without mauling people with groceries. He can lay down while we eat dinner and he knows not to get up until we say "free." His trainer was a woman who said "free" like you would expect from an overzealous female dog trainer. So when I say "free" in my monotone voice with an expressionless face, Stewart tilts his head in confusion, begging me to let out a high pitched "freeeeeeeeee." We still have a long way to go, but I have a feeling that the more he grows up, the more we will miss the puppy in him.
