Wednesday last, Piper, Nancy and I went on another field trip. As in the past,

we met at Tamp and Grind. The object was for Piper

to work on his social skills, a task which involved him sitting

and letting people pet him.

He actually did very well, but did not seem to understand why this nice lady didn’t pay him any mind

when she came back out of the coffee shop.
Next, we went to a senior living community called

Emeritus. This was a serious test for the boy, and I was a little nervous. It’s a good chance that the stars were all aligned for a whale of a Maalox moment, but Piper came through hands down…

on top of his head…

on the back of his head…

behind his ear…

over his eyes…

on each side of his face…

and under his chin. THAT’S MY BOY!
