Update on the Brown Clan

For the many who are wondering how everything is going with the new service dog at home with the Brown’s I figured I’d better get you all updated while I was taking a quick breather.  Everything is going well she has yet to step foot in the school only because before we went to get her it was kind of a mutual decision to wait until next year to try to possible implement her.  As far as around the community she has been openly accepted. Our doctor offices are always looking forward to seeing her so it’s nothing to get a reminder call from a live person saying we look forward to seeing Jonathan & Sherbert I still snicker when I hear it. Kids who are afraid of dogs are more willingly to curiously look at her as she actively assists her boy in the many things she helps with especially during PT when he does his lap around the building, we go behind him, and his therapist goes the other way the kids find it amusing LOL.  So as you can see their bond is strong and growing. 

Today was her first day going to Cub Scout with Jonathan honestly it is our first day back as well. She had been to church with us during a noonday session and was accepted without an issue (not that we were expecting any with this being our church home as well as the church that help do most of our fundraising). The boys had been used to being around the Cub Masters’ for the past two years during camping trips gearing up for the whole service dog so most of them were very interested in her and happy to see her can’t wait to see what the first camping trip is like with both of them in tow.

As for me, I have gotten use to referring to her as my baby girl and saying the babies.  People tend to look at me as if I am crazy when I say it and then I go the dog. I am still in the trying to get the house back in order from the March trip. Yes! I know it’s been like two weeks but when I return I was back in the run of the mill with work and doctor appointments but overall everything has been well I’ve been getting some really unique laughs out of these two as they try to get away with some very interesting things.  Jonathan trying to sneak bacon (the kind we eat) to Sherbert because they look like her Beg Strips or when he is eating pizza offering her some to.  I have quickly had to separate them during dinnertime do not want to explain to the vet that issue.
