Three Periods

We had a birthday party in Tomah today which meant long periods spent in the car driving to and fro. But that didn't stop Echo from attending his first Badger hockey game tonight. As usual he drew quite a bit of attention. Not many people approached us, but everyone noticed and commented on "the dog".



When we first got to our seats Echo looked around from the third deck. The Bucky Badger mascot skating on the ice caught his attention for a short period of time. He seemed somewhat timid. Then he backed under my seat and laid down without prompting. He might be so accustomed to sitting like that or he might have found that to be comforting. He will get more practice during the next five months at the Kohl Center and in Washington DC in April.



Echo reacted the same way every time we returned to our seats. He remained still, in a DOWN, throughout each period. The only time his eyes wandered were when the spectator next to me dropped a small piece of popcorn. He left that piece alone and all the other food items when we walked a lap and took a potty break during intermissions.
