We passed the public access test and ended up driving home right after graduation. We were so anxious to see Andrew and Aaron again...it was a long two weeks without our boys! We've jumped right back into life. We're exhausted, but can see that life is going to be much better with Buddy in our lives. Jonathan continues to accept him in his routine. We have him sleeping in Jonathan's room now, and it's going well (baby steps!).
Holly, our other Golden Retriever, has been slow to give up her position as head dog. There were a few days of craziness as the dogs tried to figure out the dominance game. Now they are like siblings...whatever one has, the other wants. It's pretty funny.
Buddy still has stitches, but is doing well. Thanks for all the support while we were away. We are so fortunate to have such a great group of friends and family!

About Me
- Jonathan
- Jonathan is an energetic and fun-loving nine year old who has autism. Jonathan's parents, Dave and Heather, have raised over 25,000 to qualify for a trained autism assistance dog for their son. This amount was almost double what they were required to raise, so the excess was put toward a service dog for a second child.
4 Paws for Ability
trains a variety of assistance dogs, including but not limited to seizure assistance, mobility assistance, hearing ear dogs and autism assistance dogs.
