Amber's Diary

Went to Toad Suck Daze today with mom....

Well today I went to Toad Suck Daze a local festival held here every year. I went with mom last year and did okay. This year Grammy went with us and more people were wanting to pet me and such. So mom is going to have to look into getting a patch that says no petting at work or something of that sort. I know it's nice to get petted and such but grammy looked like she wasn't too happy with mommy letting people do that. So hopefully mom will be able to get a patch that says to not pet me I am working and that should take care of the problem.....I hope.

Mom found me a mat at a booth that had stuff for dogs. Mom was reaching in her purse to get more money to cover the taxes and the lady who ran the booth was sweet enough that she told mom the twenty would be enough and she would cover the rest after she asked mom if the mat was for me and when she realized I was a service dog. That was kind of neat. Now I have my own mat to lay on when Mom takes me places. It's a nice red corderoy like on one side and then a red with darker leaf pattern on the other side.

Seems like Izzy has been cuddling up to me lately. Not too sure with that. I wouldn't mind it but she tosses and turns like mommy does. No wonder those two don't phase each other when Izzy sleeps on the bed. All I can say is I am glad she does give me more room on the floor. So it was really interesting today when everyone was asking Mom if they could pet me.

Been really interesting since Izzy came into the family...

Well not too sure when it comes to playing with the little one but I let her know when she has gone too far. Most of the time though I just turn and walk away in the other direction away from her. Champ seems to enjoy her playing with him and following him though. Which is good because sometime she can get on a dog's nerves. Thank goodness mom was willing to play with her and get her to run around the house and wear herself out. At least when I go out with mom and work I can get me some time away from her and to myself. Seems like Izzy seems to like the bed at the foot of mom's bed. That's fine with me cause I hardly sleep there. Glad mom keeps her on the bed at night so I get my space as well as some love from mom after Izzy is sound asleep. So been kind of rough getting used to the new addition to the family since Friday.

Went to an appointment and more....

Went with mommy to her doctor appointment. I went under the chair she was sitting in so that I was out of the way. Went with her back to the room for her appointment and layed down in the corner. After the appointment mommy and I went to the police station. Mommy was seeing about offering to educate the officers on the rights of a service dog person and such so that the policemen knew what they could and couldn't do when an instance happened to where they got called to and someone with a service dog was there. Then we came home after that. Wasn't too sure of the doctor's office though. I had never been to this one so it was all new to me. But I made my mommy proud of me because she kept praising me for it.
