Dani takes a little break.

Syd learning to love her cozy crate! Sometimes people are a little unused to using a crate for a dog, but we like to explain the use of it by describing how fun it was as a kid when you got to build a fort under your dining room table. Dogs love cozy places, just like kids love a cozy spot to hang out.

Best practice in a restaurant is to get a table next to wall, and then put the service dog next to the wall...but, if there is no table next to a wall then the service dog should go UNDER the table (as Dani is doing here). Good dog!

Introducing Happy Bear, our newest service dog candidate! Found as a stray, Bear had a bit of a rough start--he was treated for worms (which is why he's so skinny) so we're getting him into tip-top shape while we evaluate him. Bear is named after Pawsitivity sponsor Susan "Happy Bear" Janda. A sweet, smart pup, he is settling in, learning the routine, and all the dogs are getting along well!

We just took all four dogs for a walk at the same time. They did great!

Dani and her boy with blindness get in a little cuddle time!

Dani gets gentle petting from the boy she is going to. He spends much of his time in a stroller and he is blind, but he loves touch and he loves positive attention.

Dani's boy gives her a toy!

Dani and her boy with severe disabilities, including blindness, and his loving grampa take a stroller walk. Dani showed interest in a squirrel at one point, but then ignored it...and her boy eventually wanted to get out and move about more! Yay! Such an active visit!
