We're Moving On Up!

We received news yesterday of an opening in the April/May training class for our new service dog! All of a sudden the wait doesn't seem quite so unbearable. Getting our dog in May will mean we have the entire summer to work as a team and do the bonding thing. It will be much better for Jonathan that way.

I still need to work out the details with my job. It's difficult to ask for more time off in the same school year...but I have to do what's best for my son.

We will find out the details of our dog...what kind, name, age...about two weeks before we go to training. We know that he/she will be trained in search and rescue, behavior disruption, tethering, and public access. Until then, I continue to look at the dogs on the 4Paws training pages and wonder which one will be ours.
