This week, we're catching you up on the past two weeks while we've been away. Since we've been back, we've taken Markus to McDonald Beach and the groomers to get washed up!

★★☆☆☆

On our journey to train Markus into becoming a dog that's comfortable being off-leash, we brought Markus to McDonald Beach - a long stretch of beach and water that's technically not enclosed, but has fairly distinct boundaries.

We brought Markus in to get his teeth cleaned and we're sharing the experience of going through the procedure. Once he bounced back, we also brought Markus to an off-leash park without an enclosure where we learned more things about him.
