[nagdu] Dog carrying

[Cindy Ray]

Do you remember when for a time TSE taught you to carry the dog by the back strap onto the escalator?
 I think I learned that with Spencer, but I'm not sure. Well, I could barely lift that dog up to do it; same thing as was true with the asphalt; I worked with Lukas at convention with him. He said, "You don't need to do that with him. He has no problem with the escalator." Glad we have the escalator training, too. Chuck once carried his dog on one because the down stairs in the store were closed for some weird reason. He said he did it all the time. I was amazed and asked him about it after we got off. He said he had never done it before.

OK, done with that. <Grin>
