Buzz is going to Camp Triumph with me this year as a ThD and he'll be my READ dog at schools soon too. He'll love it, and I can't wait!

ThD "stuff"
A while back I said I'd chosen to go with Therapy Dogs Incorporated for a couple different reasons. Well, until now I hadn't made time to actually get the paperwork in. I finally called the most local person I could find, and printed all of my paperwork. He just needs a fecal and a license and we're set. I was going to bring a fecal in today, but alas, last night was chicken night and apparently there was too much skin for him. Guess it'll be tomorrow!

so exciting!!!! I think I would really like to do therapy dog stuff but right now neither of the dogs would like it. maybe in a couple years. but who knows, Lance is actually getting more cuddly at home now!
I thought Bailey would really enjoy it about five years ago. She enjoyed coming with Buzz and I on our nursing home visits with a friend (up here, all they care about is a CGC and rabies). When the attention turned to her completely, she was a very UNhappy dog. I think we made three visits as a "TDI" team and abandoned it. Not her thing.
I never thought Buzz would really enjoy it, but then I remembered how he would take me to a certain room at the nursing home and just sit with a man with Parkinsons. Just sit. I think he'll love being a READ dog as soon as I get THAT paperwork settled. The kids at Camp will love him too. He's such a good dog, I'll just have to think of something clever about why a READ dog is deaf. He doesn't need to hear to provide support!
