Sunday morning...

It has been an amazing vacation and a great last weekend. I have learned how amazing spending time with your children is and I am finally learning not to give a darn about anything outside of my realms. Just enjoying the family. If anyone out there ever looked at someone with a service dog and sad "oh how special, that person is so lucky" well you were right. However I can now attest that Faith has her work cut out for her. Even though Cass is as well trained as they come, he is a lot of constant work for Faith. She is constantly thinking of her new friend and planning everything around his needs also now. It is some amazing to watch but yet even more amazing that an eleven year old can be that responsible. I am so proud of her. We could not get through getting her shots for school on Friday. She had a major panic attack right as the nurse was about to put the needle in her. We had to stop but with Cass' help she was able to calm down in just a matter of maybe twenty seconds. Before it would have been minutes. She went out and played without him yesterday for a couple of hours. It went well, I think he enjoyed the rest. I am going out to the field this week for training. It will be her first time with him and without me. I know she will do great. She takes her new responseability serious and has a great outlook on the upcoming school year and her hidden disability. There is not much more a father could ask for. Kris
