Beck goes to a staff meeting

On Thursday I had a staff meeting and I was supposed to volunteer at St.Als after the meeting. So rather than make Beck stay in the car and wait until my staff meeting was over I figured since she is allowed all over the hospital I would take her to the staff meeting with me. She made me so proud. For a solid hour she laid down next to my chair and passed out. Everyone commented on what a sweet dog she is and how well she did during the meeting. After the meeting she did a fantastic job visiting with the patients and staff in the hospital.

Here are some pictures of Beck prepping for therapy work. All of the dogs that come into visit patients must be clean before they arrive. She hates the bath tub but loves going to work afterwards.

Cassius also had a great day on Thursday. I took him to D&B Supply to work on some heeling and to buy dog food. He did a great job and even resisted the distraction of a baby ferret chirping near his face.

He did WHAT!? We're reserving final judgement but psst - Cassius, those are squeaky toys in cages dude! You're supposed to freak out, knock over at least one display, scrabble and whine at the end of your leash causing your human to overbalance and break open the bag of dog food she's trying to carry and then sit and act completely normal when an employee comes to investigate.

D - you always act so suprised when Beck is perfect. She must reserve that DemonDog side of her for moments at home 'cause I've never seen it! Awesome that she was such a good girl at the staff meeting, hope you feel like bringing her from now on. :)
