A Visit to Bobby Mack

Friday Annie, Abby and Saint came in to Salt Lake for a two fold reason.  Park City was having their annual Sundance Movie event.  There was a documentary done of guide dogs and Annie and Abby wanted to see it.  Annie went on line and got tickets to be at the showing.  There was also some kind of parade or event for all the people who brought their guide dogs with them.

Their second reason to come in was to see Bobby Mack.  Abby knew that Bobby's husband, Grant had two guide dogs.  One named Albie and the other named Matthew.  We all loved those dogs and loved what they had been trained to do.  Because Abby is training a guide dog she wanted to share that knowledge with Bobby.  It was a fun visit.  Not sure that Bobby understood everything that was said but I do believe that she was happy and pleased to have Annie and Abby come for a visit.  I was with them but had a horrible cold and didn't want to get close to Bobby.

We took a couple pictures.  One in particular was of Saint sitting by a stuffed dog that sits in the entrance hall.  The minute Saint saw the dog he stopped and Abby had to encourage him to go through the door.  He went right over to the stuffed dog and began sniffing the dogs nose.  It was very cute.  Amazing how real the dog looks.  I remember the very first time I saw the stuffed dog when coming into the facility.  I totally thought the dog was real.

Here are a couple pictures of Bobby, Abby, Saint, Annie and I.

We left shortly after and went to Woody's for a hamburger.  Neal met us there.  We parted there.  Neal and I went home and Annie and Abby headed to Park City.  It did storm that night but they made it up there safe, had a fun time and got home safe.
