What an interesting day we had today! We went to the Portland airport, and practiced going through security! I've never done that in class before, and I think it's a grand idea. Not only did we get to practice how it's done, and see how the dogs did in a crowd and a line, but it was also wonderful training for the staff at the airport. I will say that this was the lightest I've ever "traveled", with only my shoes and a little pack in the tray. So in that sense, it wasn't entirely realistic. I would usually have a carry-on, a BrailleNote, a purse, and maybe another thing or two to keep track of! But it went really well. Posh was greatly admired by the people who wanded us, and of course, she took it in her stride. After all, when you are the cutest dog on the planet, you just sort of expect to be given compliments by your adoring public! I also heard a few kids commenting on how cute she is, but she wasn't lured by them. Apparently kids aren't quite as interesting as trees with lots of doggy smells. There is no accounting for personal taste!
This afternoon, we went to a nature trail. Lots of sniffing opportunities, and Posh mostly ignored them all! It was a gorgeous day, and just a really nice walk along a river.
Tonight, I got to talk to both of her puppy raisers, wich is always so much fun. I know I've already said it, but I just love these people. They have to be among the most generous in the world! Everyone's going to be here on Saturday, so Herself shall be a star! And I also had another massage! Thanks to GDB for providing this option! I really do need to find something like that at home!
Now, since I feel like a noodle, and my little dog is asleep, I think I will join her! Tomorrow will be even busier than yesterday!
Night!
Holy crap! Grad is Saturday! I remember when you just left! I'm so glad Posh worked out for you.
