Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines!

Today was fire station day! First off, I am totally and completely grateful to the men at Alpharetta Fire Station #3. Not only for their everyday selfless and heroic actions, but also because they were extremely enthusiastic about helping us, even if it involved wearing all of their gear and unnecessarily running their engines. I guess it didn't hurt that they got to play with the puppies, too!

Here are the desensitization and socialization goals that I am looking to accomplish by bringing the puppies to the fire station:
1) The Engines - the sirens, flashing lights, air breaks, horns, and size!
2) The Gear - the hefty jumpsuit, clunky boots, hard hats, oxygen tanks, and masks!
3) The Station - constant radio noises, big echoing garage, and the buzzer alarm in the station!

I'm proud to say that after the initial curiosities, everybody did absolutely amazing!

And, of course, here are some pictures:

You're not scary at all like they said you'd be!

What is that thing over your face?? 

Thank you so, so much to these wonderful guys!  

Praises and treats make fire engines fun!
