Dogs Welcome

I am not a lifelong dog-lover.  My dad was bitten by a German Shepherd when I was a kid and I was scared of dogs until about five years ago.

Now that I have one, I try to balance how much we think she's the greatest with how to teach her to interact with a public who may or may not like dogs.

This weekend we had two great dog experiences - one was when we went to Picco's for pizza.  We sat outside and after the server brought our waters, he asked if Lucy wanted a glass of water too.  (Of course she did!)

Then yesterday we went to the Apple Store.  I sat outside with Lucy while Web went to get a replacement set of headphones.  The store manager came up to him to let him know that Lucy was more than welcome to come in - they were dog-friendly.
