Bramble's First Restaurant Trip!

Being a good puppy @ the restaurant!

Yesterday Bramble had her first trip to a restaurant, which went very well. She had had a busy afternoon playing in the garden (the weather was warm & sunny, for a change!) so happily settled down for a snooze. She didn't fuss for the food and did us proud.

Loving her Kong!

She loves her kongs, which I normally stuff the night before and pop into the freezer, which means it soothes her new teeth coming through, satisfies her urge to chew and cools her down on these sunny days - being a black dog she gets hot quickly. 

We have been doing some training in the garden, and she is doing well now with all her assistance dog commands. I also practised getting her to walk beside the buggy, which will be good for in shops with a trolley, too. 

Talking of shops, she recently had a trip to Tesco which was a success, she did really well. Bramble seems to take everything in her stride, and is always well behaved, especially if you have treats!!!

She is growing quickly, although seems to be taking after the Labrador more than the Newfoundland in several ways.

Bramble with her squeaky ball!
