The wait is killing me!

We should find out who our dog is any day now, and the wait is killing me!

On April 27, we will drive back to Ohio to train with our new service dog. The last time we went, we brought the whole family, as well as Jonathan's personal aid-Karen, and both sets of grandparents. This time, we are simplifying everything and only bringing Jonathan. We'll be able to focus having the dog and Jonathan bond better this way. The training will take two weeks to complete. Why another two weeks-you ask? Well, the new dog needs to learn Jonathan's scent for tracking, and we need to learn the body language of our new dog while he/she is tracking.

We're ready to go. All the details are finalized. Now we wait...patiently.
