Seeing Eye, Day 9
Today's wakeup song was Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves.
Park wasn't too cold, but it is supposed to rain later.
I was on a shuttle for the morning trip, and we did well. I'm still working on my alignment with various crossings, as NZ spoiled me a bit with traffic. There was a dog distraction, a barricade, and lots of small maneuvers and turns around obsticles. We dealt with sandwich boards, close building lines, and pedestrians. I slowed down a bit for the trip, and my shins were not too bad.
Pauline Alexander was our host in the morning. She used to work for admissions at TSE, and was there during my first class in 2002. It was lovely seeing her again.
After midmorning park, we had the dog care lecture, in which we cleaned ears, teeth, and pilled our dogs. Vanya was fine with her ears being cleaned, but wasn't happy about her teeth. I'll do this in my room, away from others, and start with my finger on the side of her mouth if necessary.
At lunch, someone from PR and doaner relations sat at our table.
The afternoon trip went well, and I remembered to keep the left arm at my side, and keep the right arm in close. It was nice and cool, with no rain, the perfect walking weather.
We had a small nap before afternoon feed/park, and then had dinner.
This time, they called people who lived west of the Mississippi, or overseas to dinner first.
We then had the dog massage session, where the dogs get all floppy, and sleepy. Vayna doesn't mind her feet touched, but may be tickled on her back.
After last park, I ordered some wings, because my dinner was small, IMO, and besides, I need to get wings. Well, ok, I want to get wings. LOL. They're boneless, which you can't get in NZ yet.
Tomorrow is our solo, so it'll be a bit of an early night for me.
