Growing By 1

Great news: the wonderful folks at St. Francis Service Dogs feel that Jake, a black lab, is a great fit for us, and want to start my training soon!

A good day...

Cora getting Jake some liquid refreshment!

Jake

I got to meet Jake today. Jake is a two year old black lab at Saint Francis Service Dogs. It was a meeting to check how good a match Jake might be for our family.

As usual, the staff were wonderful throughout.

So was Jake.

We must temper our hopes; Jake will meet other applicants in an effort to find the best match, and that may not be us.

Still, it was a good visit

Denise Called...

...and told me that my application for a service dog has been approved!

Important 36 hours

The Recommendation Committee for St. Francis Service Dogs will meet tonight and decide if I'm a worthy candidate for a dog.

Their recommendation will be reported to the Board of Directors at their meeting tomorrow night, where a final decision will be made.

I'm nervous at the thought of the deliberations and decisions that will be made in the next 36 hours, but, deep down, I do have a good feeling about it...

Looking Promising

Our house visit with Saint Francis Service Dogs went well, but we'll need to wait until later in the month before hearing if my application has been approved.

Fingers crossed...

St. Francis

More progress with St. Francis Service Dogs today; their Director is visiting us for a home visit.

I'm not entirely sure what ti expect, but we're all looking forward to the visit!
