Buddy was eleven months old today. One month before the medical tests. Next month Buddy will get his eyes and hips checked to determine if he has any issues that would prevent him from being a guide dog.To celebrate, we took him to another hockey game.
First we stopped for a bite to eat at a restaurant near the United Center. The host met us and told us he would be right back. He came back a minute later with the manager. Oh Oh, we've seen this before. He asked us a few questions and when we told him that Buddy would be well behaved, he agreed to seat us. No problems at dinner, except for a very busy/unattentive waiter.
On the way in to the hockey game, Wild vs Blackhawks, Buddy made like he needed to potty and stopped. We knew he had to go, but nothing worked. Too many distractions. We went to our seats and of course Buddy fidgeted the entire first period. So between periods we found the perfect spot and he relaxed for the rest of the game.
To follow up on a point from last weekend, Buddy drew a lot of attention and I met a number of Blackhawk fans to discuss Buddy's training. Having a dog with you everywhere you go really opens up a whole new world. We probably never would have talked to any other people at the game
