[nagdu] Empty chairs at empty tables...

[Craig Heaps]

I clicker trained Chase to "find the chair."  Unfortunately, I did not train 
him to find the empty chair.  We need to work on that.

More than once, getting onto the BART train, I have said, "Find the chair," 
and he has put his cold wet nose on someone's leg.  Now, some might say it 
serves them right for sitting in the side-facing disabled seats.  But it's a 
little rude, none the less.

Craig and Chase, who can find a chair -- empty or not.
