Casino Night

So GDTx just recently (Saturday) had its annual Casino Night fundraiser and Bob and I were invited to go and "work" it. That pretty much means lets go and show off the puppy haha. Well Darrell didn't go because he wanted to go hunting with his cousin so I forced Erin to come with me. I knew Bob would probably be stolen from me and passed around so I needed a date lol.

It was a very fun and interesting night - Bob got stolen right when we walked through the door haha. After a while though he was brought back to me so I could take him to go busy because he didn't go before we walked in. Not that we didn't try though haha. On our way back in I met up with another puppy raiser who has another puppy that came from NY (where Bob came from). She's a week older than him though. Anyways, we had gone up to her raisers room (the puppy's name is Celia by the way) and let them play for about 20 or 30 minutes. We took them out again and went and joined the party for a bit.

One kind of funny story that had happened was when Erin, a friend and I were sitting over in a corner chatting - Bob was passed out between the wall and my chair. Very hard to see because it was dark. Anyways, a random guy had come over and asked to pet him. First thing I thought was "how the heck did you see him?" and second thought (which I actually spoke out loud to him haha) was "Well if you can squeeze over here yes, but he's sleeping and I'm not going to wake him up". Ok, I know that sounds kind of rude when written but it didn't come out like that... So we moved the little table and the guy came over and stroked Bob a few times - I don't think Bob even opened his eyes haha.. Celia really wore him out. Well they guy was going on about how the dogs make good hunting dogs and asking where he could get one and yada yada.. lol I snuck out to go to the bathroom because he wasn't really talking to me, he was talking to our other friend (who sits for GDTx all the time.. ) So yeah. When I got back we were ready to head back into the party and I was ready to actually go play cards. Little did I know how hard that would be with the B. O. B. 


                    {Ben with his chips!}

So Erin and I head off to play blackjack, I had Bob on a down and played 2 hands before he got up. So Bob sit, good, down.. good! Well out comes another guy - "Wow, he's really smart, how old is he, its crazy you get him to do that so quickly" haha. So I get into this long conversation which stopped my playing blackjack, it was ok though because I think the dealer was getting annoyed at me (I wasn't paying very well attention). Haha, so I head off to go learn how to play craps.. That didn't go so well.. I pretty much had no idea why I was getting chips and felt stupid when the dealer talked to me so I didn't stay there long haha. So me and a friend start heading over to a poker table, well on the way we got ambushed lol. There was a guy who kept coming over to pet Bob all night long - I didn't mind, every body pet Bob at least twice lol but this guy pet him every time we passed haha. Well anyways, he asks to pet him and I say ok and get Bob in a sit. They guy starts petting him under his chin - ok. Thats when I spot a chunk of cheese in the guys other hand - so I look closer at Bob.. he's chewing! Bum bum buuummm. So both the friend and I spot this at the same time and tell the guy that the dogs aren't allowed people food. He said sorry and looked kind of depressed... I said sorry back and told him its not good for them. He was a guy that worked at the hotel the fundraiser was in so he didn't really know the rules.. But still... hmm. Side-note - Bob had horrible gas the whole next day. Ok, back to Casino night. We went to the poker table and played until they shut it down (which was only like 20 minutes haha) We then went and said bye to some people and let people say bye to Bob - Erin was carrying him at this point because he was pretty much dead lol. Then we headed home grabbing Jack in the Box along the way!

Ok, brings me to my question(s) of the day! Has anyone ever tried to give your dog tidbits? Did they get away with it? What did you do?
