Every Sunday I go to the Farmers' Market. Farmers sell their tasty FOOD. I love to look all around. Such fun! A girl can look, but no sniffing the food for assistance dogs. Humans..well they sniff and touch and eat the food all the time in front of me. If I look up at them with my most adorable lab look, my human corrects me. Hey, I gotta try sometimes. Let my human know how good I am to ignore all the FOOD.
Big crowds of humans walk around us, not too careful about the looking. I help my human walk around. My human says when she's with me, the other humans give us a bit of space. They don't bump against her.
The other humans notice me. Some tell me I'm beautiful. A few call to me. Or even try to pet me. I ignore them. I do appreciate a good compliment and petting... but these humans are strange. I guess people call to and pet them when they're working too.
Anyway today was like any other Farmers' Market day except my human stopped and talked to a girl who saw me at a presentation. She said "She looks the same" with some surprise. I don't know why I'd look any different. I give her a polite wave with my tail.
Also we saw a CCI Skilled Companion named Jura who's friend with this sweet boy. I wanted to lick his legs, but my human wouldn't let me. I guess they belong to Jura. Jura's an older dog, but he was excited to see me. I was excited to see him too. It was hard to greet him and stay in my short leash and be a good dog, but of course I managed it. My human says we're going on a playdate. Maybe then she'll bring a camera and take some photos. Even better she'll bring TENNIS BALLS!

People tell me I'm beautiful too and try to pet me ALL THE TIME. My Mom's trying to educate people when we're out in public about how I'm an assistance dog who's working for her, and that I should be given proper respect...no petting!! :) Mom says we might go on a playdate in August and see my puppy raiser Mary Beth and her two ADIT's, Jengo and Mr. "D" puppy arriving August 6th! I hope you and your human are doing amazingly well!

Hi Hermione (and person)! :) Love your blog...hope you don't mind that I linked to it!
Farmers markets sound like a lot of fun! I wish I could still go out in public with people...but I'm a career change CCI dog...so I can't. Too bad.
Have fun! *woof*

Hi Jen! My human tries to educate, but she has two small puppies and she doesn't notice all of those petters and callers.
Playdate are fun! I'm excited for you!
