This year Cinder accompanied us on our annual trek to Miller park. As we approached the corporate tailgate, we were swarmed by a group of puppy loving children. This sight was repeated continually throughout the pre-game festivities, as we entered the stadium, and as we exited. She showed some fear of the music blasting from the speaker. So we spent some time conditioning her to the music using treats. One teenage boy gave her some special attention to help her settle in.
As you can see we had Bob Uecker's seats; we were literally in the top row. A long walk up for the little girl. She stopped a few times for pats on the head. Other than waking her up for this photo op, she slept through the entire game. Having just awoken, she refused to go down the steep stairs. We had to carry her down the first flight, but walked the rest of the way with the exception of the escalators. She never hinted at taking a potty break until we hit the grass.
After the game, we stopped at a restaurant for some dinner. As we were leaving, Cinder encountered a group of girls that thought she was the cutest thing ever. They loved the tiny guide dog. Cinder was distracted by the crowd or the scents and she ran smack dab into a floor sign. Well, the girls didn't think that she would make a very good guide dog after that demonstration.
