WOOF!! It's me - Spencer talking

 

Yes, I know that I'm expensive to travel with Jason. He really needed me and I help him get places easier. I really enjoyed the trip too.

I enjoy meeting all the classmate, the beautiful weather, all the different surfaces to walk on, and fighting about the bottom of the bunk bed with Jason.

I met some sheep at one of the place we stopped at and I get to run around free on the beach that day.

Now, we are back to the US and I get to sit around and relax again.

As you notice Ireland don't cost me anything, that is because they respect all guide dog. I like that where I can go in any resturant, pubs, and get to sit on the seat on the bus. I know that I'm not getting paid, I get free food and go places for free!

I apologize to those who are dog lover that really want to get to pet me or play with me during the trip. I'm only working on this trip and this is a new place for me and this is a big responsibility for me to make sure Jason get around safe.
