Thank you

Thank you all who have posted comments of support and who have been a part of Tink's life either with us or at SDR. The amount of support that we as a family is given never ceases to amaze me. I am still amazed at the number of SDR volunteers who check and see what Miss Tink is up to on a regular basis. You guys are awesome; with all that you do for so many dogs, you still have time to read up on Miss Tink and her antics.

We're really excited that we passed the test yesterday. We still have several more steps to complete before we're officially official. Tink has to have a vet check and I have lots of paperwork to fill out and send in to Delta in one big packet. We have 3 months to complete!

Now, none of this is official, but we're looking at starting with a local nursing home where other pet partners go, so we could get a general feel of what we're supposed to be doing and to get more comfortable with our "job." I also have a phone call out for an integrated preschool classroom that has kids with visual impairments in the class. The lady i spoke with on the phone was very interested. Now if i can get my schedule to work out, that would be great!

It's been ridiculously hot over here and Tink and Nick and I have been enjoying the A/C to the fullest. I've been experimenting with the sewing machine and sewing some of Tink's small crate towels together to make larger towels. It was quite the experiment tonight. But of course practice makes perfect! We'll be on to bigger and better things soon!

We went down to Tink's Gram and Pap Rowe's fri night into saturday. It was a nice time of relaxing and good company. Twyla took some pictures which i will post as soon as she get's a spare moment to email them. The kiddie pool was out and Tink had many yummy snacks. And of course, she slept in bed with us (2 twins together, equals a huge bed!!) More pics soon.

PS: Tink is invited to another pool party this weekend and we're going! Who knew she would be so popular!!! And her buddy Gabe will be there too!
