New Trick!

Aston has added to his trick repertoire with his ability to guess which hand the treat is in.
I'll put a treat in one of my hands (behind my back where he can't see it) and then put them both out in front of Aston. He'll sniff them both a bit and paw which hand he thinks the treat is in. The majority of the time he's correct and gets the treat as well as a lot of compliments for being a very clever boy. If he picks the wrong hand, I just close it again and let him pick the other one.

Is Aston a genius? Yep.

Limp

Aston has a limp right now. It's his left leg and pretty pronounced, but he doesn't seem to be in any pain and is playing and running about as usual. We've already taken him to the vets and they couldn't see anything wrong, but we've scheduled another appointment for tomorrow because he started limping again.
However, perhaps it's all just a ploy to get more treats?
