That is so very cool. We love your new outfit and congratulations. Do you get to go everywhere now that you are Service Binx? (like stores and malls etc.)

Binx, that is so cool. And Mom wants to know if you can tell her how to teach Pippi to put the dirty laundry in the laundry basket rather than steal it and leave it all over the house. BOL

Binx, you and your mom are inspiring my mom. She's started working with Cheeky and I more. I'm usually on my best behavior when we are working on things. Several people have told me that I just need a job. I'm looking for one like ... spreading the laundry all over the house ... herding cats ... jumping up and getting things off the counter. I've had some practice with these things. Although that doesn't seem to be what Mom is practicing with us. Go figure.

Hi there Abby! Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a note for me! Oh yes, a Service Binx, I mean Dog in training is allowed anywhere any Service Dog is allowed to go here in Florida! Mom waited until I learned how to be well behaved and not hyper in public before she got me my vest and patches though. We have not been anyplace yet, but there is a huge mall down the street from us and we will be going there sometimes in the mornings before there are tons of people. We are starting slow she said! We make a great team the two of us! Now mom has no more excuses for not going to more places! :)

Hi there Pippi and Cheeky, you always leave funny stuff on our pages! I don't get the laundry yet, but when mom puts her clothes on the bed I lay on them every time!! I am going to be working on picking up the phone and stuff that mom drops that she can't bend over to get. I already help her when we are walking for balance. I learned that a long time ago. If I don't stay beside her and calm when we are walking then she doesn't do that great sometimes. I bet you guys would be great Therapy dogs there, listen to your mom so that you can do that! You will have fun I bet! :)

Oh Binx, I am always determined to have fun. Tee hee hee. Sometimes it's just in ways that Mom doesn't find so fun. BOL. Seriously though you are right. I get to do more things and go more with Mom with I do behave. I love to be out and around people and I love to be the center of attention. So Mom doesn't think I would mind all kinds of strangers petting me. Cheeky ... she doesn't like anyone but Mom and sometimes Grandma petting her. Lots of socializing to work on.

My favourite place in the mall would be the foodcourt. Yumm!!! Treats for everyone!!!

Hi there Pippi and Abby! Pippi, sounds like you would be a great Therapy dog! I don't think that is for me though! I don't want anyone but my family to pet me! I do have to admit though that I am getting a LITTLE better at that. There have been a few pets by strangers here and there that I have let people do but only for a second though! Abby, did you say food!!! Wait, you said treats too! I can't wait to go to the mall!!! Mom says soon!

My mom takes me through the drive through at our local Mc Donalds, and there is a manager there that loves me and always gives me a chicken nugget. I love him, too. And the other people there are getting trained pretty well cuz if he's not there I usually still get it. Course now when I go to the bank and they give me that plain old treat I look at my mom like "what?" I would love to go to a whole food court.

We get timbits from Tim Hortons drive through!!!

Hi there Tinkerbell and Abby! Wow, a chicken nugget at the drive through Tinkerbell, that is so great! Mom gets me a plain hamburger with no bun when she goes. She won't let me have the whole thing though! Abby, what is a timbit????? I am guessing that it is really yummy! :)

Tink we get plain treats at the bank and the drive through at the pharmacy. All we get at McDonalds are oohs and ahhs. BOL

Oh Cheeky, I am so sorry to hear that! You have to try what works for me if you don't already do it that is! I sit there real still and give the puppy eyes to mom and the people that work at McDonalds! Works everytime! I have to admit though that when that bag comes into the car all bets are off! I try to stick my nose right into that bag as quick as I can! Mom is too fast for me there though!! :)

A timbit is a little round donut a little smaller than a golf ball. There are all different kinds like mini donuts. They sell them at Tim Hortons. That is our official Canadian Coffee Chain founded by a hockey player in the NHL. Maybe they do not have any down your way. They are perfect little doggy treats and all the dogs love them. :)

Abby, they sound like the munchkins that they have at Dunkin Donuts here! They are little donut holes and so yummy!!!! Mom and I go to Dunkin Donuts all the time! :)

Yum...mini donuts...I could do mini donuts. I'm like you Binx, if mom sits that bag down I'm in it. Cheeky, if you distract the Mc Donalds people, Pippi could quickly crawl through the take-out window and get you a nugget??

Hahahahahaha!!!! Oh my goodness, you are so funny Tinkerbell! Hey, if we all went to Gregory's McDonalds that he works at (mom's human son) I know that I could distract him and you guys can sneek in and get some of those nuggets!! Oh, the parfaits are tasty also! Whatever you do sneek though you have to save me some!! :)

Tink and Binx I like the way you think, but I don't think it's a good idea to send in Pippi. She can be a little piggy. She would eat all the nuggets and we would get none. Mom puts us in separate rooms when we eat so that I get all my food.

You snooze, you loose. Tee hee hee.

Oh my goodness Pippi and Cheeky, you are toooo funny! Pippi, do you really sneak Cheeky's food???? I am so glad to be an only fur baby here!!! It is all mine, mine, mine! :)

Mom tends to make sure I don't get much of a chance to eat Cheeky's food. When she first came she would go to the bowl, pick up on piece of food and take it about a foot away and set it down then eat it. Then she'd go back and do it all over again. It took her FOREVER to eat. Me, my nose is in that bowl inhaling my food until it is gone. I figure if you walk away from your bowl than it is fair game. Now Cheeky tends to stay at her bowl and when she is done sometimes she snarls at me when I come to check out her empty bowl.

Oh Pippi, that is soooo funny! If mom puts my food in the kitchen and then goes into the living room I do what Cheeky did sometimes also. But if the bowl is a light one then I will pick it up and move it so that I can still see my mom! She starts laughing at me every time! :)

Congrats Binx! Keep up the good work!

Thanks Harry, I am working hard to help my mom and learning all the time! :)

Grandma puts down 4 bowls for each of us dogs. I go around to each of them and 'lick' all the pieces and then go back and would empty each bowl if I could. Mom says I try to lick the pieces of food so the others won't eat it. Doesn't work though, cuz once I finish my bowl grandma usually catches me heading to the next bowl and picks them up. I'm with Pippi, ya snooze, ya loose. lol

Oh no, that is too funny Tinkerbell! I just got a mental picture in my head of you doing that! Too funny! :)

Lick the bowls, eh? I like that idea Tinkerbell. If only I could get to Cheeky's bowl to do that. Mom always fills my bowl then steps in the next room, closing the gate behind her, to fill Cheeky's bowl while I am eating. Now I do make it downstairs before Mom most of the time when she opens the gate at the top of the stairs. I usually get to clean the cats' bowls. Tee hee hee.

Oh you silly one Pippi! I know that I want to be the only dog for my mom, but I sure wouldn't mind sneaking a second bowl of food from time to time! :)

Oh we LOVE cat food, too. Any chance we get. Ecspecially Vixie. The cat food is in a tin thing that she can get into and if the lid isn't tight, she will push it off and grab a big mouthful and run. lol It's too funny. I'm usually right behind her, but she gets busted cuz she looks like a chipmunk.

Nope, never tried cat food here! I have tried to herd the kitties outside though. Unfortunately the last time mom didn't have the leash very well and I really hurt her.That was over a month ago and her finger is still bad. What is a damaged tendon...... Sorry mom that I was trying to herd the kitties.....
