L or EL

After a quick breakfast at the hotel, we returned to CoCo's house for dinner. Unfortunately Buddy and CoCo don't get along so they never officially met this weekend. They spoke, but didn't meet nose to nose. CoCo was banished to her bedroom for the entirety of Buddy's visit - sorry.

We walked to the elevated train station (EL) and road the EL to Chinatown. Buddy wasn't phased as the train rumbled past us and stopped for loading. At each stop, he would sit up and ready himself to exit the train. Only to settle back down as the train continued to the next stop.

He was very attentive to all the new sights and smells of the EL. As usual Buddy was making friends with everyone that paid him any attention. On the EL this meant all kinds of people. Buddy is a wonderful ambassador. He breaks down barriers and we get to talk to a lot more people.

For the most part he was well behaved. However, before dinner was served at the restaurant, Buddy was barking. Not clear what it was, but he persisted as we tried to persuade him to stop. So we placed the comfort muzzle on him - more to adjust his attitude than to keep him quiet. He became passive, calmed down, and rested during dinner.

We took the El back at CoCo's house, Buddy was exhausted. CoCo however, really wanted to see Buddy up close and personal. After a long day, Buddy was more interested in catching up on his missed rest. So he settled into CoCo's spare bed and caught a few winks as the Packers took care of the Seahawks.

Buddy is comfortably back home
