If there was any doubt at all of whether being a service dog was for Sheena or not last night proved that it is. When my husband got home from work he was all excited because his boss wanted to see her. Derek works at an autowreckers. Anyway they own two huge rottwielers. One is 120 pounds and only 11 months. He is a huge baby and both are super friendly. I carried Sheena is and never let her out of my arms but she didn't show one ounce of caring. She sniffed them and when the pup sniffed her to vigorously she reached out to grab his nose. Not in a mean way just in a way to mean ****** off. He sat down and whined which got all the men laughing. Her is tiny Sheena and a big rotwieler is whining and at her mercy. Then while this was going on some of the guys drove in a demolition car that was really loud. Sheena turned her head looked at it and yawned. She didn't car. I watched her for any sign of nervousness fear or anything and if I saw it we
would leave immediately. She didn't show anything except curiosity and didn't fight me carrying her at all.
Then we had to go to Lethbridge to get a new phone and some work boots for Derek. She first we put Sheena's collar and bandana on her and went to Canadian Tire first. We went in and not a peep from Sheena. She spent the time kissing and sniffing babies, kids and adults. Everyone loved her.
Then she walked from the exit of the store at heel to the car. Her tail was arched over her back and she was so happy and playful. Agian no sign at all of the least bit of stress.
Walmart was the real test. The place was busy as normal but Sheena took it all in stride. She was agian petted and loved by all sorts and seemed to
swell with the attention. She didn't once fight to be put down. She wasn't nervous or anything. The real test was a lady had a crying baby. Sheena stretched her head out and licked the childs hand. The baby giggled and the mom said thank you so much. Sheena gave the baby another kiss and then we were off. She was a huge hit. Not one accident either basically because I carried her but also when I took her to the green strip outside and told her to hurry she went. I am so proud of her.
She slept all the way home and when I took the bandana off she was back to being a bouncing puppy. She is amazing. Considering she is only eight weeks old today. I just had to tell you all this.

Lets teach the public to spay and neuter pets and leave breeding up to the experts, to help decrease the thousands of animals destroyed monthly in shelters and pounds around the world.
