I have a dog, Sarah who is about three years old and full of energy. The breeder said she was a Sheltie but I am are sure there is something bigger and more energetic mixed inside. Perhaps she is part Border Collie. Her self proclaimed job is to bark and greet people whenever they arrive then bark to say goodbye when they leave. She was very busy announcing the arrivals and departures of the many sculpture building volunteers.
Fortunately most of the volunteers were dog lovers. Unfortunately some of the children were more excited seeing the dog than helping build the Princess. My wife Pam took on dog distraction duty by luring Sarah outside with baked beef bones where she could chew to her heart's content. We went through a lot of bones and in the process made Sarah extra happy along with a bit extra heavy.

However, there were some days such as during this one with Sofia when we sculptors focused on the Princess and Sarah wandered around freely. While we knelt on the floor to work on the sculpture's legs, Sarah decided to curl up in my lap and be close to the action. I am used to her being involved in anything I do around the house so I simply worked around her.
At one point she tried nibbling on bits of dried Winterstone that had fallen on the floor and I suspect she would have eaten more if we had not told her to stop.
