Saturday Post 3 - Visiting Sonya

We only got to visit with Sonya for about half an hour.  But we didn't worry too much about that because next Saturday we knew that we would be there for a few hours for the puppy reunion (weather providing). 


Sonya sit's well

 Sonya is in training to be a service animal.  She will go into hospitals and nursing homes to help encourage the people.


Grandpa Gives Good Treats

 Because Duchess was staying for the day, Dale aka Grandpa, brought a large bag of treats.  Between Sonya and Duchess half the bag was gone before we left on our day. 


Grandpa gives Sonya kisses

 They are trying to break Sonya from giving doggie kisses.  Grandpa got told he was being a trouble maker by leaning down and asking for a kiss.  Can you imagine that?  A grandpa being a troublemaker? I thought that was what grandpa's were for!!!!


Grandpa rubs Sonya's ears

 If a dog could purr, Sonya would be purring right now.  She loved the way grandpa was petting her ears.  She has natural ears and I didn't show you the pictures before this one but grandpa had just given her an ear massage an Dobermans with natural ears usually love ear massages.  Some dobies that have cropped ears like it too. It depends on how the cropping was done and if there was any injury (if done wrong.)


Grandpa gives Sonya hug

When grandpa finished the meeting with a big hug, Sonya ate it all up!  She loves being spoiled by grandpa and I dare say that grandpa enjoyed spoiling her. 

They day was off to a good start.  UNTIL I got into the car and although my battery wasn't 100% dead there wasn't enough battery left to start the car.  Do you want to hear why?  The night before I showed Dale the time schedule of where we would be and when and how much time we had at each place.  (I schedule and then go with whatever happens.) 

Dale believes that we must be everywhere EARLY.  I build the schedule so everything is early and if we don't make the schedule we will still be on time.  So when I was on time, he was freaking out because I wasn't even more early.  He didn't charge his cell phone the night before so he plugged it into my car charger.  It doesn't charge unless the key is turned.  I didn't want to waste gas so I only turned the key. 

The phone was charging, the radio was on, and last but not least because I drive with lights on all the time the lights were also on.  Thirty minutes later and my battery was nearly dead.  Julie's son, took out his battery cables and used his car to jump my car and we were on our way.  A few minutes late but still on time.
