In that part of the country PCA Palooza is really a fall colors tour kind of thing.

The 928 GTG last weekend is held in the area west of Austin, called 3rd Coast Hill Country, it is still green there.
Wanted to go this year, the weather was in the low 70's day and night! Usually its 70's daytime and upper 50's at night.
But training my service dog is more important right now.
She is not trained well enough to slap a "Service Dog in Training" Vest on her and take her, and do not want to leave her in a Kennel or worse with a trainer that will untrain some of my stuff.

This morning I went by Starbucks. While waiting in line for the drive thru, one of the baristas brought her daughter out to meet Pepper. Told Pepper to tell her "Good Morning" and Pepper immediately said "Good Morning" very clearly. The little girl looked kind of shocked said "Good morning, and Hello Pepper" then without prompting Pepper said "Hello" back. Had to give Pepper treats for that! The barista told her daughter, see I told you Pepper says Hello. The little girl said, she say good morning too!
