It started out innocently enough. I ran into my friend J at the grocery store and she had a service dog. I said something to the effect that I didn’t know that she needed a service dog, and she said that she was just training the dog, getting him ready for the task of helping some unknown person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So then we had lunch about a month ago and she asked if I would consider hosting a service dog for a short period. I have been looking for a new dog and haven’t found one (the dog must be well behaved, not a pit bull and have floppy ears). So I said yes to the foster, and now Ace resides at my house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s a two year old chocolate lab. This is him hard at work at a class we went to (too bad I wasn’t working as hard).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had been out shopping and he was just sitting in the car while I put everything away. If he is wearing his vest he can legally go anywhere, so we have run a lot of errands together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He is pretty good looking and everywhere we go people tell him how handsome he is, but he hasn’t let this praise go to his head (so far at least).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He does get plenty of beauty sleep, here he is taking a quick nap, but he is ever ready to spring into action if required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is a fully trained service dog, but his first owner didn’t bond with him, so he came back to the trainer. Now he is studying for a new task, and soon he will be on his way to his forever home. But in the meantime, I am enjoying his company while it lasts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
