We passed!

Tonight Chewie took his therapy dog test with TDI. He passed with both LeAnne and I as his handlers. :banana: :banana:

He passed his CGC a few months ago, but the dogs need to be at least a year old to take the TDI test. He was great tonight and had a wonderful time being a ham and soaking up all the attention!

He has been going to the nursing home that LeAnne works at since we got him - at 4 mos. old. Tomorrow will be his 1st official visit - we are going to visit the high school LifeSkills classroom (special ed) in Mankato. It should be a lot of fun. :D

Pictures to follow later.

Thanks everyone! Chewie and his fellow therapy dog members had a wonderful time at the school visit on Friday. We had a total of 9 dogs there to see the kids. We ended up with a big audience too - in addition to the original classroom, the next door class joined us. Staff with a free period dropped in, as well as the student teachers. I thought it was great that the student teachers were exposed to the benefits of pet assisted therapy for this group of students. Here are some pictures-

Here is a picture of Chewie with the student I do home care with. One day a week I am her nurse in this classroom. (I sub for the regular nurse on her day off)

Here we are visiting another student. All students in this room have fairly high level physical or mental disabilities.

Here is part of the group in the demo portion of our visit -

Here is a group shot of the dogs that made the visit - out in the hall by the lockers-

We had a wonderful time! It took us forever to get into the classroom and out of it - the dogs were swarmed by students in the hallways. 8O They were so surprised to have dogs in their school. It was kind of fun seeing high school kids so excited! :D :D
WOW! what great pictures! Chewie is such a good boy! :kiss:

It's really great that the usually "too cool to get excited" high school kids were thrilled to see the dogs! :lol:
Oh my gosh Dawn, when did Chewie get so grown up? Look what a great job he did! You should be so proud!!!!! Thanks for sharing pictures of Chewie at "work".
