Operation Sow's Ear to Purse 3 : Is Silk So Unrealistic?

[bunn]

Duke is ignoring the cats.  All the cats, not just Perl.   I just took him downstairs (on lead and muzzled)  and he didn't even look at them.

 I took him to the utility room where we got a tripe stick, came back and started talking to Mark - I was still holding the tripe.  Duke, still ignoring the cats, barges and rubs up against me to ask for his tripe.   Then he does a perfect 'sit' to ask nicely!  

I took the muzzle off - still on lead, but  no interest in the cats - gave him the tripe stick and he ate it on the floor in between Yama  Bungle on the sofa and Suma Bungle on the footstool.  Ate the whole thing without looking up, then sniffed all over the cushion looking for crumbs.   Then walked out of the room with me. 

Am trying not to get overconfident.

Fingers firmly crossed...

He just shouted at Suma under a door - but to be fair to poor Duke, Suma was lying on the floor outside the room shoving his paws underneath!

That Bungle has NO sense!

I feel things are moving the right way. He seems to not be a particularly chasy dog generally, we went to a 'safe field' this morning (fully enclosed) which has a couple of rabbit warrens in it, and he was probably less excited about it than Az.
