This is not the mall!!!!!

On Saturday, September 25th we traveled to Pilot Knob, MO for the Civil War reenactment that takes place every 3 years. Kermit was great and sure was a hit for the whole day. But there was a lot of walking and crowds. Kermit had this look on his face as if to say, "Wait! This is not the mall! 4 Paws trained me at the mall!" Kermit was not enthused about the horses. When he first seen them he stopped and stood back and sort of moaned. It was funny. Later in the day Danny was walking toward the horses wanted to see them. We decided not to go near them and give Kerms a break. I told Kermit that he had met his match! It was quite comical. Afterward we went to a restaurant for dinner and to celebrate Kenny's 17th birthday, which was on the same day as the reenactment. When we walked in with Kermit the waitress approached me and said they don't allow animals in the restaurant. I explained to her that he was a service dog. She asked who in our group was blind! I stated that he was an autism/seizure dog for my son. She looked puzzled and said, "Well, I guess he can stay as long as he behaves". I just simply said, "No, he will stay because it's the law" and offered his papers. Later on when we were almost done eating, the waitress came by and admired how wonderful and well behaved Kermit was. I told her that he was trained well and knows his job. It was a good lesson for someone on service dogs of all kinds. What a great way to celebrate Kenny's birthday!
