Our adventure began OFFICIALLY last night! Yep, we were invited to meet a dog...Leah's dog! Can you beleive how fast this process is moving???? Josh had to work late so Papa went to the meeting with the girls and I! We drove anxiously to meet the owner, trainer and the doggie and UGH...they're late!
Finally a van pulled up and out comes a 65 pound Labradoodle!!! He's an 8 month old wire haired blonde doodle! A gentle giant named...RILEY!!! Leah went right to him and said in Leah-speak, "Doggie!!" Yeah! Maybe some sort of connection! We pet and played with Riley, talked with the owner who is hoping to re-home the dog for personal reasons and left with high hopes!
Riley will be staying at the kennel for a few days on a trial basis with the trainer. He will have a few health tests conducted (hips checked, etc.) and the trainer will be checking him for trainability and temperament for service dog training. After this time period, we will know if this is THE dog for Leah.
I plan to keep this blog updated with Leah's journey in receiving her service dog! We love to share our family with you! Please check back often. As I learn more about this blogging thing, I will post pictures as well. I have some of Riley in my hot-little-hands right now!!! (I'll work on that!!!)
Check back soon!!!
