Finally

Buddy finally got to visit a water park. After much wrangling Buddy finaly received the approval to visit the villa and waterpark in Warrens. Eventually we received approval from a manager at the resort after a brief legal discussion.

We rode a shuttle from the villa to the waterpark. The shuttle driver obviously noticed Buddy and must have reported us to the hotel management and security. A security officer shortly thereafter showed up and wanted to validate our documentation.

Plenty of distractions at the waterpark. Little kids screeching and screaming and they run past or splash in the water. Buddy was working on his down stay and interactions with new people. It's so difficult for a black lab to meet people calmly. He feels that everyone must love him. It's even harder to resist playing with his pack mates. At leasst that's how he currently views little kids. Overall he did well with the training opportunities.

He has gotten sick a number of times over the weekend. Hopefully it's not serious. Buddy wasn't happy though because we didn't bring along any extra food. It was probably better to keep an empty stomach and let him recover.
