Lynda - there are several of us that have dinner reservations at LTT at or around 4:30 so we can make that a mini-meet if we want. Then later on we hope to have another meet to try to include everyone else. I will try to figure out a way to be noticeable so anyone eating at LTT can see who we are. I know I will be able to spot you and Cash.
Does Cash get to eat dinner or does he just have to lay there(and be a good service dog) and smell all that wonderful food. He should get a treat for that. I know we can't play with him, but what kinds of treats could we bring for Cash?
Anyone have any suggestion on a meeting place and time?
Cash will eat dinner in late afternoon at the POLY, then we will zip off to the LTT. Maybe there's a nice dessert place where we could all meet...on Main Street?
Cash does not get to eat another dinner ...He's been trained to lay there and mind his manners. He's only allowed to smell the food.
(I caught a little boy trying to feed him French fry nubbins at a counter place at MGM last May. When Cash and I got up to leave there were about twenty pieces of potato littered around Cash and a very frustrated little boy sitting next to him. I was SO proud....
Cash gets one solid treat (a huge Milk Bone) at the very end of the day. When he obeys a new command or puts together a complicated series of commands he gets some lovin'. I'll have to tell you about the bag of lettuce episode...unless I already have...(proud Mothers).
'I know we can't play with him, but what kinds of treats could we bring for Cash"?
Because Cash has a sensitive stomach (strange water, probably), he is restricted as to food intake when he travels...He's had a couple of public outdoor accidents and that is something that absolutely cannot be allowed. Funny thing, too, he tends to eat less. He has consistently refused bones and special chew toys on trips so I just don't bother any more.
When I eat, he sleeps. He dozes standing up when we are standing in lines. If I'm shopping for clothes, he zones out (he's a male...).
See his picture in the sig. block? That's his zoned-out look. We must have worked for ten minutes on his position in the picture and, it being the end of the day, he was getting a bit bored.
During long conversations he either sleeps or people-watches unless he hears certain verbal patterns that he recognizes as meaning he's the topic of conversation..at which point he either puts his chin lovingly on my knee (I'm on scooter) and leaves a wet spot on my slacks, or sighs and puts on his noble look. He's very subdued, mildly friendly in a curious, rather than affectionate way with strangers, and, in an eatery, most people don't even know he's around unless he gets stepped on by the help, at which point he leaps to his feet and scares everyone to death. He's VERY tall and powerful for a lab and towers over most tots. His favorite game USED to be poking his big snout into passing strollers. I think he was just curious but he sure scared some kids to death until I convinced him that it was contrary to his well-being to keep it up. Babies, he now understands, are not for idle sniffing....
Absolutely just can't wait to see who comes in and steals this one from me.....
HEY! WOW....What, is everyone else asleep????
