We all went to a steak house this evening for a work celebration. Other than the butcher can there be a bigger challenge than a steakhouse? The dinner lasted in excess of two hours and Buddy behaved well throughout. No Barking :-) He didn't sit still, but only modest movement under the table. About one and a half hours in he worked his way to the opposite side of the table.
Only one transgression during the meal. Then after the meal, Buddy maintained his composure until the other dinner guests wanted to meet him up close. So Buddy got a couple minutes of wiggle and kiss time. He made the rounds to make friends. Upon leaving he received more attention and high praise for his manners.
"The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. . . .He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. . . .When all other friends desert, he remains." - George G Vest
