Hello All - You might remember that Maya moved up to Anacortes in September. We went up for Summit Graduation in October and Sue said that Maya was doing really fantastic. But.......several days ago I got some not-so-good news about her. As she became more comfortable with her new people and environment, she started barking, a habit we had worked hard to correct around here. Sue has not given up on her, but is concerned that she might not be able to stop the barking, in which case Maya would not be suitable for work as a service dog. There is another career waiting for her if she does not graduate. Sharon, her breeder, would like to offer her the job of Motherhood! She would have a happy and fun life with her family in Montana. So either way, she will be a working dog!
Chloe, Maya's little sister, is now eight months old and happily exploring the world around her. Today she went to the elementary school to celebrate Halloween with the Kindergarten classes. Everyone had on a costume - Chloe was a horse with a teddy bear cowboy on her back - and we all paraded through the classrooms in the buildings. She also was on stage last week in a program put on by the primary grades on the topic of cooperation. The classes each took a nursery rhyme and presented the traditional version and the cooperative version. Chloe was one of the horses in Humpty Dumpty, and I'm happy to report that they did get that egg together again using cooperation.
