Bubba did well in the car ride to the park he was on a seat belt he did bark most of the ride. I feel like it was part of the restraint of not reaching me and a bit overwhelmed Not knowing where he was going. When we got to the park he was happy. He followed the volunteers child on the path on the trail and loved being near the child. He walked fast on the trail but on the way back he walked nicely and stopped and smelled spots more. We found a little stream that he loved waking in. We took a break before heading back and he coved us with kisses. Then we went to get ice cream which he enjoyed. Back at ACCT he met a small dog at the fence and did amazing. Very sweet dog. Probably could live with children 10 and up he wasn't jumpy at all with their 10 year old.

Bubba did so good today on our day trip! He loves to go on walks and sniff around. He can pull on leash at times and be a little strong but overall he is pretty good. When passing dogs on the walk he pretty much would look at them and keep walking. Bubba loved to lay out in the sun on a blanket! He's very affectionate and loves to be pet! Bubba is a little nervous in the car and can bark and whine. Overall Bubba did very well today!
Per staff on 4/26: A big sweetheart! Very well mannered man, loves to play!
