Happy to have some company, Axl wandered around with me until I had completed some chores. Then he got excited to go for a walk. I guessed pretty well on Axl’s girth measurement. The place where I got the harness set it up to fit the size I offered. It fit nicely. And it worked well for walking with him. There was one situation where we went into the street to let an older guy with his smaller dog stay on the sidewalk. As we passed, Axl growled unprovoked. I was surprised, told him “STOP” and pulled up on the leash and he stopped immediately. We proceeded on as if nothing had happened. He dropped a big formed poop easy to pick up. He peed/marked plenty. Last night he woke me up at about midnight to go out. I heard lots of flatulence noise and found a few dried sqyirts on the ground this afternoon. Anyway he is happy and ready for dinner.
