Well this morning I had to wait for mom to take me to the park. But I got to fetch the ball a lot and that was lots of fun. I was pretty tired when we left, but it was a long road trip so I got to sleep.
Then I got out and mom got me dressed. I really do hate my harness, its too heavy and bulky. But I tolerate it cause it helps mom. Anyways, We met Emma and her mom CJ and friend Andrea. Andrea smelled really good and I liked her a lot. After a few minutes we got up and went back outside, mom told me LOAD UP. I got into the van, but she didnt take anything off. Then she told me to wait and she held up my boots to show CJ. I was so hoping I didnt have to wear them. Then she just put them back, I was happy. Then she had me UNLOAD. We then walked back into the store. Ok this is getting redundant now. But we start walking around the store and doing some really weird things for being in the store. Like having me sit, down, getting close to things, stopping, starting. Then Andrea walked over me while I was down. I did get to greet two people and that was cool. Gotta love kids.
Then CJ told mom to walk to an area and all of a sudden mom jumped and stopped. I guess CJ dropped the clipboard. I didnt flinch, but mom did. I was laughing
Andrea got on the floor with me to check my tags to make sure they were legit and up to date. I wanted to play with her, but mom said no.

Well when it was all said and done I had passed the test. Mom said I did good, but that I failed on 3 points. 1 point for getting up from the sit to greet the lady, but she was too far away. (I was told to greet). The second one was when I had to pick up the pen for mom. First it was hard to get, second mom had to tell me twice cause I stopped to look at something. But overall mom said I did good and she was proud.

The test I took was called the Public Access Test (PAT) from FSDS. So now I am officially a certified service dog and a canine ambassador.
