Resturant Work?!

Recently two of American Assistance Dogs met up for lunch. Well actually we were out on a training session in Eden Prairie and the handlers got hungry. So since restaurants are a great place to meet new people and hear new noises we decided it was time to eat.

The dogs were welcomed and some interesting questions were asked. Then it was time to get down to the business of keeping the dogs out of the way, quite and relaxed. Blade chose a nice comfy place near the water the waiter had brought the dogs and Daniel chose to go under the table. The staff was wonderful and as you can see by this picture were more than happy to get a nice hug in before we left for home.

Weddings & Weddings

Daniel has been stealing the scene at three weddings this late summer into fall. He has been learning patience and manners by attending these functions. Walking through crowds, laying under tables for extended periods of time or leaving dropped food on the floor are all part of Daniels training at weddings and receptions. We have had one funny experience while taking Dan to weddings.

A few weeks ago we attended my nephews wedding, just as my nephew was to say he took his new wife as his bride Daniel barked three nice barks. He was sleeping at my feet and must have had a dream because he woke up barking. Later when I apologized to my new niece she just thanked me and actually said it brought her back to reality so she could say her vows. Good Job Daniel.

Daniel is a work in progress!! His favorite part of weddings is the dance. Once the little kids get on the dance floor he is all eyes. He does not try to join them but does enjoy watching all those little feet.
