checkin in with Rory.....

Today we took Rory to NEADS for her check in. She's been such an easy dog that I feel like all we're really doing is giving her a little break from the prison training and allowing her to see more of real life. Since I don't have a puppy yet... Kathleen and I have been sharing her and she has been living between the two places. Kathleen will be taking her home tonight, so today she worked with her and I mostly tagged along....
We went into a different city today... Rory didn't care, she walked along with Kathleen like always. We also are working with a couple of new trainers... Annie and Lacey... Dave has left NEADs and moved onto new adventures... I'm sure going to miss not seeing him each month.... 

The gals are nice, but we full timers are not what they're used to, so there is some getting things sorted out. I know we'll be fine, but I miss the way we always used to do it....
We  went into a shop that is used to having NEADS dogs... Rory was wonderful.....
And with the name "Rory".. you just know we had to do a photo with a lion!!!  Actually, she was named by a local lions club... thus her name......
We went into a cute little diner for lunch. Rory went right under the table and never made a peep. It was nice to sit and talk with the gals.. work on what the future training sessions will be like (and begged for a puppy to come home.....)

but since there aren't any puppies available for now (or actually for an unknown time)..  I guess Rory will be our gal and Kathleen and I will continue to co-raise.

Which is fun, but I want a pup!!!!
