Errand marathon — pace yourself

Four stops in one afternoon. Bear needed a water break in the car between. Don't push too hard.

How long did you train that piece before taking it public? Printed your verify tip for Ranger's folder.

My Prime would have lost it at the first distraction. Also library story hour is chaos in a very specific way.

Bakery section smell is a whole training module. We figured it out during eval prep.

This might sound small but Checkout lines teach patience for both species. What cue did you use for the reset? (after a bad night of sleep for us).
