Friday night we had dinner on the patio of a Mexican restaurant. It was my first restaurant. I was REALLY good! I had lots of room to stretch out in our corner, but it took me a few minutes to figure out where my place was. We had been riding in the car FOREVER so I wasn't hungry before we went in, and all those good food smells made me hungry, but I stayed in my place-even when one of the waitresses came up to pet me! James stopped her, but she kept talking to me. It was hard, but I stayed still and watched Mom. She gave me lots of pets and told me I was wonderful (of course I am!) when that girl left. I think everyone who worked there came out to make sure Mom and James were taken care of- or just to admire me. I heard Mom tell James I was less disruptive than that little girl who was squealing while her grownups ate. I'm learning!
Saturday was even better! I got stay INSIDE a STEAKHOUSE! Mom says that doesn't happen very often, because my family doesn't eat meat (silly people!). Saturday night we went out for dinner with our friends Ernie and Chris, and they DO eat meat. It can be hard to fit under a table when you're as big as I am, and I had to shift around to find a way to curl up without laying on the lumpy table legs, but I did it! It was scary when people moved around or walked up and I couldn't see what was going on, but I got used to it. It was really hard to smell all that good food and not get to eat any of it, but Ernie saved me some of his steak and Mom gave it to me as a treat. (He also knows just how a dog loves to have his ears rubbed, and made sure I got plenty of water with ice in it when we were outside during that hot day.) I love Ernie! Chris says she wants to dognap me- but that wouldn't be nice. And besides, I'm always with Mom. If I didn't already have a furever home, I could live with them.
