This morning, Sheila and I took Rocky out for some practice - walking, leaving, wearing his jacket. We went to a busy Tim Horton’s and he did us proud.

It was also attached to a convenience store and gas station so there were a lot of people coming and going. Rocky was excited and lunged at people as they entered and left the store but once he went inside, he calmed down and mostly watched people. He got an A plus from both of us this morning.

After Sheila dropped us off at home again, because it was Remembrance Day, we headed over to our local cenotaph and observed the two minutes of silence. Rocky was a little antsy at the beginning but he settled and watched all the people with interest.

Once that was over, we decided to get a bite to eat at Marshy’s, our local watering hole. They were just open so in fact, we were the first people in the door and we got a quiet table out of the way.

Again, Rocky was very interested in all that was happening around him but he soon settled and either sat or lay down (except for the one time he was caught licking the base of the table! Yum!).

The staff all thought he was gorgeous and even other customers praised his good behaviour. We think he is really coming along nicely.
