Our HOPE AACR Screening
Last weekend, Ronon and I participated in a screening to potentially join a group that deploys volunteer canine/human teams to critical incidents. It didn't go as expected.
Sleep Out for Covenant House
Sleep Out was cold and wet. Bricks are REALLY HARD TO SLEEP ON. Ronon impressed me with his adaptability. I have a whole new appreciation for how AWFUL life on the streets must be.
Ronon is a Therapy Dog Now
Ronon passed his certification exam to join Comfort Caring Canines last night. He's a therapy dog now and I couldn't be more proud.
Every Behavior Has a Cause
Ronon and I had very different perceptions of an interaction we had on a walk a few days ago.
Dog Training is Really Human Training
Training Ronon has been a challenging and different experience. I'm learning to be a better communicator and to pay better attention to what he is trying to tell me.
Our Second Move Together
Ronon and just I moved to a new apartment. His new self-confidence and resiliency show in how well he is handling our second move together.
How to Get Started in Fast CAT
The only requirements for a dog to run Fast CAT are (1) be at least a year old, and (2) not be lame. It's fun, and it's easy to get started.
Our First Fundraising Together
Ronon and I are walking to raise funds for the Support Center for Child Advocates and their work on behalf of young people who have experienced abuse and neglect in Philadelphia.
Prepping For Our First Road Trip
Ronon and I are taking our first road trip in June. I hope this will the first of many for us.
