Photoessay #2015 - Teddys pack is here!

Teddy's pack came today!  He's going to become a service dog!  Informally.  I plan to have Teddy carry the groceries from the car in the driveway up a few steps to our front door and then up the half flight of stairs to our kitchen.  He can do it, I know he can. 

There will be treats associated with this activity.

So, I showed it to him and put it on him with his first trial load, a filled water bottle on each side.  I bought the medium size but he's got such a tight waist, maybe it's too big.  Supposedly, a dog can comfortably carry 1/4 their own weight.  15 pounds.  He's young and very strong plus he only has to carry the items a short distance. 

One picture shows Teddy carrying his first load and the other shows Teddy sitting next to his new pack and his payload.

I'm excited about this....
