Yesterday Kruiser went to the opera--Central City Opera's "West Side Story." He slept through the whole thing, even when Chico shot Tony. He has definitely figured out that when we sit in seats beside other people and facing forward, the best thing to do is to lie down and sleep. We had even practiced by taking him to the new Indiana Jones movie the day before. His "ignore" command is impeccable--he laid down within two feet of a tub of popcorn on the floor and didn't touch it. All good prep for our plane ride in a week.
As usual, at the Opera we heard lots of stories of other people who have puppy raised an assistance dog (all were secondhand stories) and plenty of coos over how cute/well-behaved/mild-mannered Kruiser is. The downside is that we see wilder behavior later at home, but then he has to use up all the energy he stored up sleeping sometime.
Here's a picture of Kruiser in his new, embroidered vest (not to worry, he still thinks it's plenty manly.)
