Happy Dance Time!!!

Tink and I passed the PPAT and PPST parts of the Delta Society animal assisted therapy test!!!
And actually, we passed with flying colors; all 2s which is the highest you can get : ) She did great, beautiful sit and down, excellent in crowds and with loud noises, being held, etc, etc, etc. I in return helped the situation with appropriate role play "she likes to be petted behind her ears."
We only received a predictable qualification though due to Tink's age and that she will probably experience changes quickly. And that's fine, i'm not planning on any intense visits with her anyways.

Gabe and Auntie LuAnn were there (heehee) and Gabe as usual let Tink know that she's pretty swell (what can we say?!?!)

Sabina, the lady who tested us, actually recommended looking into volunteering with people who are visually impaired... what a great concept! I plan on looking into it!!!

So in short, and as usual, Tinker is amazing!!!

Congratulations Tink and Vicki!!!! I am very happy that it went so well. I never doubted that Tink would come through with flying colors. Her mum and dad take such good care of her and work with her gently and lovingly...so she would never want to disappoint them...she told me that last weekend. Love, Gram

Congratulations! I hope you find great opportunities to use your certification :) I actually had Dina certified when I first got her, but never used it. We got busy, and Dina's personality changed a bit. Enjoy this special time with your little girl!
