He is a mommas boy..lol, last time we went to the dog park was within the week after the behaviorist and she suggested he wear his gentle leader head halter and have a muzzle so I brought them..he was awkward and the other dogs drew attention to it so I took it off and he started running so the big dogs would chase him..he loved it, but then there was a min ion and he ran ahead and I ran after him and when I arrived it was a standoff..no fight..so for me..I'm nerve wracked..he wants it,like I said but knowing it's a hair trigger makes it unenjoyable and I feel irresponsible allowing it if he could cause a fight; perhaps in the future if we can gather some people to work with us one at a time to build friends and confidence for him
Happy Birthday Oakley

I've largely been absent on the forum the last year because I have been busy pursuing some big goals to create a better life for myself and
Oakley…but days like this I like to take a moment to stop and celebrate.
Anyone who has followed Oakleys "adventures" knows that it's nothing short of a miracle this boy has made it to five. Lucky for me (knock on wood!!) things have been low key and he's kept himself mostly out of trouble. I couldn't imagine a better wingman and I for sure never could've imagined the love I'd find in having him.Happy 5th Birthday Oakley

Happy Birthday Oakley from my gang to you.

Yes, indeed, Happy (belated) Birthday to Mr. Oakley. Yes, I remember some of the good, the bad, and the ugly, and scary from his growing up years!!! Yes, the forum has been pretty quiet, and welcome back! Godspeed in your pursuits!

Thanks all, it has been quiet and that really stinks…I miss all the hub bub. I don't know about you all but puppy fever is in full effect for me but it is definitely not the time to add!! But I did notice Pat might have litter plans in 2016....hahaha..makes me wonder

Ava and I send (very) belated happy birthday wishes to The Talented Mr. Oakley! He's as handsome as ever– but five years already? My, my, time does fly.
The forum has been so quiet. I got out of the habit of checking it, because it seemed nobody ever posted. I miss those lively days, too, when somebody always had something to report or discuss. Glad to hear you and Oakley are doing well and prospering!
