Since the last update, Oscar has started walking more confidently, and in an instant he's from one end of the lounge to another. However in the last week, he's now mastered the staircase with confidence. Is there no end to his ability and confidence? So lots of praising and standing close behind him to prevent a tumble all the way back down the stairs! Some good progress made with Oscar's development I think. The dog is now looking even more terrified.
How remiss of me to forget to say about my recent driving experience. Last month I applied for some shift work as a delivery driver for a well known company that supplies groceries etc. I passed the interview with flying colours, however when I took the driving assessment, it was a whole different ball game. Bearing in mind the only experience I've had before of driving a 3.5 ton van is for occasional removal stuff, I was less than confident behind the wheel. I managed to clip the kerb forward and back when attempting a 3 point turn. I also drove alongside a static van too closely. I didn't even realise it was there! The subsequent feedback was "Roger is classed as a high risk driver with a lack of observational skills". So there you go. Never to be let loose again at the wheel of a van. Don't ever ask me to drive your van for you. It'll probably end up in a ditch or in someone's front garden. Nem mind - we have to try these things. Move on.
