Nitro's day at work

Today was super fun! My morning started out just like normal. I got up, went potty, ate breakfast, and went potty again. But then, instead of going to "place" or hanging out with Amanda and Sarah, Mrs. Gonzalez grabbed my bag and led me to her car! I went to her job, and stayed the WHOLE DAY!!!

Mrs. Gonzalez bought me a nice fuzzy bed and put it under her desk. I liked the way it felt. So soft and cozy. She told me to stay there and be quiet, and I listened because I like to make her happy.

After a couple of hours of work, a lady came into Mrs. Gonzalez's office. She sat on the other side of the desk. I was very, very quiet, because I know I'm supposed to be invisible at work. The lady sat down and started talking about boring retirement stuff. I stayed still like a good doggie. But then I started thinking that Mrs. Gonzalez has a really good sense of humor, and this would be a perfect opportunity to play a joke on her. - I let one go, a nice big, silent fart. Oh yeah, not only did that feel really good, but it smelled AWESOME! Mrs. Gonzalez kept talking to the lady, but I know they both smelled it, and... ha ha... that lady probably thinks Mrs. Gonzalez needs to lay off the Mexican food!

After Mrs. Gonzalez finished chuckling (see, she didn't even get mad at me), we went out for a potty break and took a nice little walk around the parking lot together.

At lunch we walked again, and then Mrs. Gonzalez got my puzzle game out (which kinda made me feel bad that she got blamed for my stink bomb) and we played together. She wore me out good, and I slept most of the afternoon away under her desk.

I think I like her work, and I want to go again. I bet next time she brings some room deodorizer with her...

Nitro

Hi. My name is Nitro. I've been with the Gonzalez family for three weeks now. The peoples decided that I will probably make a better diabetes alert dog than my brother, Kismet, so I'm living with the Gonzalez family. They're really nice. They love me a lot. I have learned a lot since I've been here, even though I learned a lot when I was with my mama and Joanne too.

Since I've been with the Gonzalez family, I've worked a lot on sit, down, and wait. I have also learned to paw (high), and I'm working on performing a bow.

I get to go lots of fun places. I've been to Sarah's theater classes, out for pizza (no, I didn't jump up on the table and eat it, even though it smelled good), to the Spaghetti Factory, and to several stores including Walmart and Target (the peoples tried and failed to find me a kiddie pool to play in), and most recently, a grocery store. I didn't pee or poo in any of them, which made the peoples very happy and relieved.

It hasn't been all perfect here, I've had a bout of tummy issues. Mrs. Gonzalez has done a lot of special cooking for me. I really like the way she makes chicken and rice because she cooks it up with chicken broth until it's extreme yumminess! I started a new food a few days ago, and since then I've felt better. Mrs. Gonzalez thinks I have a dairy allergy because I had a small piece of cheese yesterday, and kept her up all night because I had to poop every couple of hours.

My very favorite thing in the WHOLE WORLD right now is my puzzle! It's the funnest thing EVER, and Mrs. Gonzalez hides yummy treats and the treat part always smells a little bit like Sarah when she doesn't feel good.

Today Mrs. Gonzalez is REALLY happy with me, because I've been finding the smell of low blood sugars in my puzzle, without the treats!
