Otherwise, I can usually carry my own plate and just ask for help serving food onto it. As Ecko gets older and learns when and when not to sniff (ah, this'll be a never-ending education!), it gets easier. I've though of leaving him with his leash attached to the table where I'm sitting. This would be good since I'd be able to find my way back there (assuming he's doing something that makes his collar and tags jingle), but I'm always afraid he's going to decide he wants to eat something off the floor just out of range and take the whole table with him! Now there's a way to get fast restaurant service! Ombudsben,

But I have to admit I'm stuck on the very concept of dealing with a buffet line. But I suppose you are accustomed to finding serving forks and spoons already. Still, hats off to you. And it must leave you with a wonderful warmth to know how you're touching and helping others. My wife was a teacher and liked it for the students; it was the bureaucracy that drove her away.
