Yay - Flash tried to play with a dog

This morning for the first time since his back problems started, Flash tried to get another dog to play in the park. It was Pip, a Labrador he knows well, but he was aggressive to as well whilst his back was bad. This morning, Flash poked him to get him to play and looked perfectly relaxed. I stopped him from poking him of course, but that's how he gets other dogs to play/run and it was great seeing him happy enough to do that again! Yay! It looks like we are winning the war with Flash! He now very rarely barks or growls at other dogs in the park unless they charge up to him. Even large dogs he just walks past (on lead still!) ignoring them. :-)
