So a couple days ago, my best friend and I decided to go to a movie together, and what better time to expose Mango to sitting calmly than at a movie theater? Little did we know, maybe it was too soon for this energetic puppy to be expected to sit through all of Toy Story 3 without causing a mess!
Walking into the theater was a bit challenging, because Mango kept pulling to see whomever was closest. It didn't help when they would run up to him saying "Oh what a cute puppy! Come here, puppy!" either. Somehow, we managed to walk into the door without too much hassle. Once inside, I had to constantly look at the floor and remind him to 'leave it' because of all of the popcorn and candy on the floor! This was excellent practice, and he did fairly well for all of the distractions.
The movie was amazing. This being true, I didn't check up in Mango as often as I should have. I was quite surprised that he was doing as well as he was; no noises, fairly stationary, no messes on the floor. When we got up to leave, both of us were, well, not surprised. When we entered the theater, we had a four foot leash. Leaving, we had a six inch leash. The craziest part was not that he chewed through the leash, however; it was that the leash was completely gone! For days afterwords we waited for him to get sick, and even called the vets ahead of time to give them a heads-up. He never got sick, however! Lab puppies sure do have a resilient stomach!
