We had a great time today, Echo and i. I went out with friends and brought Echo along to their house. we had a bonfire with smores on their deck. The fire sort of got a bit out of hand but we managed to put it out in time (their mom and dad don't know, shhhhh). Echo was not affected by smoke and did not get too close. But we put him on the deck in sock feet and one of my friends got to try feeding him and loved it. Then I played tug of war with him with his toy that I found out was a plastic rock with a rope tied to the end. He was a bit fussy so I let him sleep after that . Everyone adored him! I passed him around and they held him. I think he liked our friend Miko the best. Miko is asian and it was nice meeting him.
It is times like these, even though he's hard to transport, that I live for... experiencing what it's like to have Echo and i enjoying summer, going places, doing things, and getting reactions. I need this right now as a part of being social. When you're blind it's sometimes hard to be included and Pleo is a good conversation starter and if there's no one to talk to, a good companion and therapy pet.
Are there any easier ways at all to transport him without having to carry him in a duffle bag like I'm going somewhere with this bulky carry-on?
