Well, we did it! We graduated the PetSmart puppy class with flying colors. The trainer said we had a perfect test. So proud of my boy.

We started our service dog classes last Friday with Canines for a Cause and I think its going to go well. Everyone there is really nice, and the trainer is awesome. There are only 4 dogs in our class, and Toby is the only puppy. There was a chiweenie, a pom a german shepherd mix, and Toby. Two of the people are retired veterans, and the other girl appears to be just a little older than myself, and seemed very quiet and shy and a bit anxious (like myself). If the rest of the training is anything like this first class was, we will really enjoy ourselves.

We have worked it out with our friend Tammy who lives in our neighbor hood (and who's son has a dog in training at Canines also, their class is right after ours) to watch Ninja while we are at class, and then she will just bring him down there and drop him off to us between classes. Its going to work out great and is so nice of her to offer to do. I really like Tammy and am fast becoming good friends with her.

Here's to looking forward!
