How nice of you Amanda! service dogs can do quite a lot for the community.

This trick is actually quite easy as they are trained not to accept food off the floor and only with permisson.

Cindy is a my service dog for a balance disorder I have, thank you again Amanda. ~Pat #8253611

Cindy reminds me SO MUCH of Draco!

What a beautiful lab, Pat and Graham!!

And...Lucky is not this 'good' when it comes to his 'treats'!(LOL)<:)) #8255910

Graham Robards December 30, 2009

Hi there Lorraine, you have had a busy Christmas, Ive popped up but nobody has been home, hope you all enjoyed your holiday!

Yes Cindy is like Draco, most folk think she is a "he" because she is
masculine looking in the head.

Yes, she got the treat in the end LOL. Thank you again for your kind words Lorraine. ~Pat,and Graham #8256044

Graham Robards December 30, 2009

Oh I meant to say not all labs are this good Lorraine, it took heaps of training to get her like it.

Do you know what she does now, she pinches the biscuit container then brings it to me LOL. So what do *I* do HA, give her a reward for stealing LOL. ~Pat

Mary K. Robison January 02, 2010

Pat, Cindy HAS to be sweet, because the two labs I've known were both real sweethearts. Your training has paid off, although I can almost hear her sighing (not easy to do with her mouth closed)...
Great composition and light in this shot.
Happy New Year, once again! #8265504

Graham Robards January 02, 2010

Thank you so much Mary! She is a real sweetheart too! ~Pat #8265515
