Wednesday, July 3

On Wednesday, at breakfast, we each had to walk to our rooms without the cane. Mostly this exercise did good for us. Once breakfast had been finished, we went to the kennels and worked with dogs. 

I worked with one or two dogs in the morning. We'd just walk up and down the kennel from the North entrance to the South one. So, pretty much, we worked with dogs and that was it. 

For lunch, we were served chicken legs, cauliflower, and something else. (Maybe this was Wednesday, or maybe Tuesday.)

Here I am at the table with the dog I am working with today. Isn't she beautiful?

We sat on the couch for a little while and got reviewed by the trainers. We then went in the kennels to work with the dogs once more. I received a different dog. I walked around the kennel from the outside with a dog. This dog is the dog I've got right now. She's a mix of Labrador and Bernese Mountain dogs. She did run me into the same obstacle two to three times. I remember one of the times, I was startled about it and had cried a little. I didn't know she was going to do that and that the wooden ramp was there. I had to correct her. 

I got to go back to the room and board if you want to call it (the dorm building). I had to stay in my room with this dog. I talked and visited with her. I petted and rubbed her. I think she enjoyed me petting and rubbing her. I stepped out for a moment and talked to my friend, because she wanted help of some kind. I went back inside my room after just a little  while.  

Next, I went to dinner. Either I had shepherd's pie, meatloaf, or something else. I can't put my finger on it. We got new table assignments. I sit at the first table, if you're facing it, I'd be the one on the first corner. 
My dog obeyed very well. I'm proud of her! Yea! Lastly, I had to make sure my dog's water had been dumped out before seven. I did get to spend a few minutes or so visiting with two of my friends from here.  My dog seemed very great! That's all for now.

Notes from the Blog moderator (aka Mom): 
1. The girls were told that the dogs they had on Wednesday night might be the ones they would end up with, but it was not yet for sure.
2. I think we are not supposed to publish the dog's working name, so please be patient with that.
