An update

I can not believe it has been nearly a month since I last wrote anything in my blog.
I think it is time to update mine,
and Midnight's progress.

This photo was taken 19/11/2010
Look how long his legs are now, 
they look like fuzzy icy-pole sticks
and go in four different directions
when he runs!!

Every day I write notes on how he is progressing,
some days are good
and some are terrible.
Hopefully I am going to paste in my notes about going to the Bentleigh Festival.
You will see it was a very good day,
I was so proud of him.
Here goes ---
Sunday – Bentleigh Festival!!
The disability ambassador.
Quote -- We have been out and about being ambassadors for disability and service dogs. I think Midnight likes people, we have done both the farmers market and the Bentleigh Festival and he didnt put a nose wrong at either. He charmed my local MP who is a great supporter of disability and I know he will try and help me get Midnight registered, he could not resist the big black eyes and sloppy tongue! We had balloons bursting in our faces, loud music, children grabbing him, adults bumping us both, and even treading on his poor toes, nothing fazed him, we both loved it. Best part was the little boy who is terrified of even the family dogs fed Midnight on his own and they were both so gentle, I wish we had a video of the day, it was so lovely.
Walked 5km, a hot day as said above, noises were no problem to him, only me! Walked loose rein all day, too interested in everything to misbehave. Crossed railway via the long ramp, talked to children while waiting for train. Street very crowded, walked close
to chair, did not appear afraid, just interested. Very tired walking home, stopped for a rest under a tree, Midnight fell asleep!!  Went to toilet when we arrived home, slept all afternoon.
It really was an amazing day for both of us.
This is how he slept for the whole afternoon!!
 I love him so much, to be able to go out
with a dog beside me, is freedom!!

Until next time ---- Hug a puppy
