Posted from Dani's boy's mom: Dani had a lump removed from her back, and is recovering from the anesthesia nicely!

nterview about service dogs from a middle-schooler who will be making dog cookies and selling them to benefit Pawsitivity families!

First of three amazing shots from amazing photographer Lisa Venticinque!

Xander got to meet a wonderful middle-schooler who is volunteering for Pawsitivity doggies and their families! For a class she is taking, she will bake dog cookies, sell them to friends, neighbors, and relatives, earning donations, and then do a school PowerPoint presentation on the process!

Dogs are not big fans of public bathrooms because of A. The noise of hand-dryers and pneumatic-toilets, B. The crowded stalls, and C. A whole lot of crazy smells, so Xander is being trained through positive reinforcement to like these rooms. Good dog!

Pumbaa's family loves football games, and while most U of M games are in a nice stadium, she also has to practice getting used to noisy, wet metal bleachers!

Xander practicing sit-stay (and smelling the wonderful spring air!),

Practicing "stay" at the library, Bailey poses. As Madonna says: "What are you looking at? Strike a pose, Strike a pose Vogue, Vogue, Vogue Vogue, Vogue, Vogue"

Minnesota's Charities Review Council put out its "Giving Guide," and Pawsitivity is one of their recommended charities!

This weekend, you know what we found out Bailey hates? Thunder. So here we are at Central High School's pep band practice, getting him habituated to the thundering bass drums. Bailey's not happy, but he's getting used to it. (Poor pup - he'd much rather be at the Chuck and Don's dog food store!)
