Belle’s Big Adventure

Today Pam and I (and Belle) went to Logan’s Roadhouse for lunch. Pam had been craving prime rib. Belle and I were happy to humor her. This was Belle’s first time at Logan’s. She liked it from the very start. There were peanuts on the table. Belle loves peanuts. Pam took her picture eating a peanut and posted it to Facebook. Belle is used to being Facebook famous. She is, after all, the cutest service dog in the world.

Next, they brought out hot rolls and butter. Belle loves hot rolls almost as much as she likes butter. After many bites of buttered roll and a few dozen more peanuts, the entre arrived. Belle had never tried prime rib before but she made a note to be sure that we got it again sometime. She ate so much that her belly was round.

Then it was time to earn her grub. Belle is a migraine dog. She can tell when Pam is about to have a migraine. She lets her know by jumping up and licking her face. Pam and Belle go everywhere together. Belle likes to go places that smell good. She loves to smell fresh baked bread and hot pizza. We had to stop at the store on the way home and Belle dutifully trotted along next to Pam while we shopped.

When we were finished and checked out, I took our bags of groceries and went on ahead to take them to the car. Belle panicked. She was afraid I was going to leave them behind. We finally got home and put up the groceries. Belle got her new stuffed animal and settled down to gnaw it’s ears off and take a well deserved rest. Life is hard for a working dog.
