Happy Gotcha Day!

One year ago, on May 20th, mom and Snook came to take me home! I remember when I first met my “potential mom” a few weeks prior. She came to the breeder to meet a couple of dogs (and me) as possible service dog candidates. I was so excited to meet her and Snook. I guess you could say it was love at first sight. My mom called back to make it official and then she got to pick me up on her way home from Minneapolis.

I can’t believe it has been a year already! I have learned a lot and continue to refine my service dog tasks.

We celebrated gotcha day with ice cream at home because I was recovering from what mom calls “man surgery”. They took two of my man parts but I am doing well. I had a green and black stripe surgical suit and an inflatable donut to wear as I recovered (no cone of shame!). As of Saturday, I can run and jump and be myself again!
