First Day of School

Sammy was a perfect gentleman on his first day of preschool. The Greenwood School children all fell for his charms. I’m not sure if I can put video on this blog. If you don’t see a video of him playing with the kids, then check it out at our webshots album.

Sammy took a break from preschool today to go with me to vote at Randall’s. He was relieved to see me vote straight blue, since he is a yellow dog. His first training walk required a bit of duck tape to get the vest to stay on. I could sew it, but he is growing so fast I think I would be unsewing it in a few weeks. Anyway, I suited him up by the truck and we headed into Randall’s. There was a big noisy commercial truck by the entrance, but he bravely walked right by it, only stopping to run backwards seven times on the way to the door. He tried to accept treats for encouragement, but they seemed to keep going down the wrong pipe. Once he got out of reverse and into first gear, we made it into the produce section. He found the smells to be comforting, then he saw the people and knew he was in heaven. Instantly happy to be prancing around in his new vest getting praise and pets from all the voters in line. While I made my selections in the booth, he found a red smudge on the floor. It might have once been a red hot or a gummy bear. He had it just about cleaned up by the time I finished voting. A job well done, he walked proudly back to my truck. The noisy commercial truck was not so scary on the way out. I don’t think he went into reverse a single time.
