Mall of America

This Monday, a bunch of the interns and dogs in the program took a field trip to the Mall of America.  It was a really fun experience since I tend to go on most of my public access with just Chester and sometimes another human friend.  Seeing how well each of the dogs did on the trip was awesome!  We took two cars, so there were three dogs in each car; they got pretty cozy!  

When we first got there, a group of us decided to go into the Sea Life Aquarium with the dogs to give them a chance to see some weird creatures that they wouldn't normally get the chance to see.  The rainforest part of the aquarium also had thunder sounds and lots of lights on the ground.  Chester was a little bit unsure of what to think of the ground at first; it took a little coaxing to get him comfortable with going into the exhibit, but after his initial apprehension, he did a great job!

After the aquarium, we all met up for dinner at Noodles & Company.  Chester (and the other dogs) did a great job settling while we ate and chatted.  After dinner, we went to Bath and Body Works and a couple other places before heading back home.  I, of course, had to get a picture of Chester next to the Vikings helmet while we were there too.  It was a long day for all the pups, but they did such a great job!  Until next time, stay pawsome!
