Another experience I wanted Helper to have was a trip to the movie theatre so today we headed over to Cinemark. I brought a bone, ice chips and her blanket to keep her occupied. Much to my surprise when Helper began crunching on the ice chips and then her bone the noise seemed to be amplified in the quiet theatre! After I took those items away from her I picked her up (all 45 pounds of her!) to hold her in hopes of getting her settled. At the quietest point in the movie she let out the biggest yawn ever! Some people laughed but others were not so amused, so I packed up and we left the theatre. This pic was taken in the lobby on our way out of the building. She would not look at me for the picture and I honestly believe she felt bad because we had not completed our task at the theatre. We will try again in the near future and this time I will not bring anything that crunches!
I am a first time volunteer Puppy Raiser for Canine Companions for Independence (CCI). This wonderful organization has been providing Service Dogs, Facility Dogs, Hearing Dogs and Skilled Companions to people in need since 1975. My job for the next 18 months is to socialize, train and prepare the puppy (Helper II) in my care to successfully enter advance training in Oceanside California. I have started this blog to document our journey together.
