join us during the wonderful days of raising a "NEADS" service dog puppy --this is done in the memory of my dear litte dog.. "Moxie" who was my companion for 13 years, and brought great joy to my life

wow.... the big city....
Mom says that "tomorrow" is a very big day... so "big" in fact, that she said I needed to have a bath!!!! Good thing I'm a lab... because I don't mind the water (or baths) at all... I actually thought it was rather fun, much easier to splash and "swim" in the tub than it is the water bowl.....
Abbie came and watched, wanting to be sure that everything was OK with me. I assured her it was...... but it's always so nice to have a friend that carefully watches over you.....
We got up early in the morning, left all the others behind and met up with my other neads puppy friends. Yup, it's back to visit at neads today and to have a look at the big city. This is my first trip....Mom said we were going to have great fun... not sure how I feel about the city, but I certainly like being with everyone....
I got to hang out with Dave too.... (he's my buddy).... Dave said I was being a good little boy, and did that make me feel good!!!!
The city was pretty exciting and yes, a bit fun too... but goodness ... it's noisy. Certainly not like the farm!!!!
And I have to say, I felt very little here. Mom thought I looked very little, and she kept a careful eye on me and encouraged me all the way......
We went into the hospital.. I take it neads puppies go here a lot, because everyone seemed to know us!!! Course, me, being the smallest.... I got all the attention!!!!!
The humans sat, talked and had lunch together.....
The puppies???????? well, you can see what we did... (walking around the city takes a lot of energy!!!!)
Sasha got a little nap in too......
Up and with it... we're off to the see the bus station and the trains.......
And just like at the hospital.. everyone wants to say hello to me..... I have a feeling that people like puppies!!!!!
When we got to the train station, I learned a couple of new things. One... my Mom is afraid of the trains!!!!She really isn't around them much and just doesn't like the way the roll into the station... so, when Dave wanted us to hop on and off the train, Mom said... "please do this with Danny"... she thinks that I might misstep and fall between the train and the platform. But Dave and I knew that I could jump over that little space between... which, of course... I did.....
After hopping on and off a few times, we just waited for the train to leave. Dave likes us to see and hear what a train is like. I suppose I should have been paying better attention....
But, I couldn't resist resting my head between Dave's feet and taking a little snooze.... needless to say, trains don't worry me in the least!!!!!
As we were leaving the train station and heading back to the car... the sky was looking rather grey. Mom said she hoped we could get back "before the weather'.....
We didn't...... but rain or shine, if I become a service dog... I will still have to do my "work"... so leave it to Mom to say... "good practice Danny!!!" That's OK.. I don't mind the wet ... but it was beginning to feel like a really long day.....
I was more than happy to hike back to the car...... (I can move right along when I need to!!!)
Let's just say, once I was back in the car... that is where I stayed!!!! I was pretty tired.... we went back to neads, picked up some dog food and all the other things that the humans needed... and headed for home. It was a super fun day... but I was so happy to just sleep, and I hardly moved the whole ride home!!!
a year with Danny Boy!!!
