Sunday
It is Sunday and that means we go to church. I love church! I love to watch the music making people on
the stage and all the people in seats around my mom. I sleep when the guy stands up and talks, but sometimes he's loud
and it wakes me up! It wasn't loud
today so I watched and slept. On Sunday afternoon we went for a walk
around the golf course. I have to be careful and keep near the grass away from
the edge of the road. I was a pretty
good boy this time. I got distracted by a dog and pulled fast, but mom made me
slow down, and then sit, until the dog went by. I pulled her towards some
people once too and she did the same thing as with the dog.
Monday
Today we
walked around the shopping center. I like doing this route. I was good and
didn't run mom into anything. We walked for about a half hour around and around
the shopping center. Wag! Wag! How fun!
Tuesday
Today we
got to go to the school where mommy listens to the kids read. I tried to turn
and talk to some kids walking down the hall when I was supposed to guide mom,
and I got up a few times while the kids were reading, but I did a good job of
getting her to the different classrooms. In the afternoon we walked the mile
long golf course again. I was busy watching things across the street and things
going on inside the golf course and mom had to remind me to pay attention a lot
for the first half the route, but then I settled down and guided good.
Wednesday
Today we
went back to the school. I was a good boy.
After that we went to the place where mom talks with her counselor. I
was a good boy and slept the whole time. I did get in trouble for barking when
someone came into the waiting room while we were waiting for the bus. Tonight
we went to a different church. First we
went in to kitchen where mom ate dinner and then we went into church. This church isn't as big and busy as the one
we went to on Sunday, but its a good place.
I was not being very good on our way out of church tonight - I kept
trying to say hi to people.
Thursday
This is my
favorite day of the week. Its the day
mom goes horseback riding! And I get to
walk behind her while she rides. It is fun! Fun! Fun!
Friday
Today we
went to another school. This is a different school than where mom listens to
the
kids - At this one she reads out loud to them. I like that because I get to
hear her voice and it sounds happy when it reads. But we go into lots of
classrooms - 6 of them in all this week, and next week it will be 7. I do get sort of tired of lying down and
then getting up and following a little human to the next classroom and lying
down again. But at least I hear my mommy.
Saturday
Today we
had our once a month PCB meeting. This is held at a place where humans eat.
They talk and talk. It is a fun time because there are lots of other guide dogs
there. I like it best when I am under the table with one or two of them and we
get to talk. This afternoon we walked the shopping center again. I ran mom into
a few things outside. Then we got to go in to the grocery store. I just love
going in there! I was a good guide
there. Mom and I just finished playing with my kitten and now I think I will
take a nap. It’s been a long week.
