DMV...what a test

So today was a hard day. Mom had to go to the DMV. We were ther for over two hours. Mom says she is proud because I did so well. She took some pictures she says she is going to put up later of me doing a down stay partially under a chair so that I didnt get stepped on, and a good sit stay at her feet as she stood at one of those really high counters where people fill out thier paper work.

It was really crowded in there and I was worried about mom because her anxiety kicked off into super high gear. She got so dizzy and hot flash like that she almost blacked out. That would not have been good, as I have not yet been trained on how to alert other people yet. I just know never to walk away from her. I dont know what I would have done if she would have fell to the floor?

The DMV let two other dogs in today. The first dog I ignored no problem, but towards the end of the trip, a Giant Pit Bull was allowed to come in and the man let his Pit get too close to me. He said he was socializing him, but I know I am not supposed to let anything come up close behind mom without her permission. So I barked at that dog. Mom got scared at first because she was not expecting me to bark...I'm not supposed to do that...but then she saw the dog right behind us and she just told me to " leave it" so I turned away and started watching mom again.

Needless to say the DMV is not my favorite place, and definatley not mom's favorite either. I hope it is a long while before we have to go there again. I am happy mom is proud of me though. That makes it all worth it.
