[nagdu] nfb quiz

[d m gina]

yes I was out and about this morning, when I got a comment how the 
person was watching the dog go around tables following him showing me 
to the ladies room.
Then back to the stairs to go up into the main church.
I love comments like this.
Walking around costco asking him to sit while getting the item.
then walking again.
trying to teach him that we can shop with out his nose on the floor.
I got many compliments on how beautiful he is.
this pleased me very much as well.
I know when a days work is done he is tired.
