It's check in time again... so we loaded our humans into their cars and traveled down to NEADS. You'd think by now we would have these humans all trained, but they seem to think it's a good idea to check in and see what Dave thinks!!! Course they have to all talk first, so here, T, Edgar and Otis wait quietly...
and sister Clover did as well... (it was nice to see her again)...
I waited too.... (really this is so boring at times!!!)
We were joined by the New York puppy raisers...so that meant that T got to see his brother, and we had two other dogs with us... (who sorry to say, I didn't get to know their names) but they were very nice.
Leo and I are beginning to feel out numbered by all these Labs!!!! (as we worked at our favorite hospital)
But leave it to the Goldens to get the hugs!!! I know how to draw people out and get hugs!!!
Mom, Kathleen - Leo and I wait for our turn in the elevator..... (Mom thought this reflection picture was kind of cool)
Dave seems to like to see how many of us he can fit on a elevator... this ride had 9 service dogs on it - you can't see us all because we were all squished in.... but we were there!!!! After that, Dave took us up in smaller groups as well....
Uncle Rick... are you sitting down on the job... or just practicing a "sit stay" like the rest of us???
After our work at the hospital, it was off to the train station. You might notice that the humans don't have coats on.. it was a warm day, being the 1st of December!!! And then a huge freight train came thru... the humans always get so excited when trains come by....
Course we really don't see what all the fuss is about... guess that's what they want from us.
And after trains... buses.. and then walks around cars, noise, construction sites.... all those "things" that I don't usually get to see on the farm. Mom says this is making me (making us) "well rounded dogs"....
It seems like there are a lot of "siblings" right now working in the program.. course you know there is me, Leo and Clover...
but here is T and brother Honor....
and brothers Otis and Edgar.....
who by now, think the day has been long enough and that we should be heading back to the country....
And I agree....
Mom says that Christmas is coming again soon, and there is a chance that I will get to have another one at the farm. She hopes so.. but knows that college is coming soon and it will be the next big step....
Love, Ginger
