Cherelle visits Dogs for the Deaf in Central Point OR.
Her starting point as a Hearing Dog.

April 15th found us "camping out" in our motorhome in the parking lot of Dogs for the Deaf. We were asked to come visit the staff and talk about life as a Hearing Dog Team. Cherelle and I wanted everyone there at DFD to know that their work is very important. They gave Cherelle and myself a new lease on life.  All the dogs that DFD rescues and train go on to help others in some way. Even if they do not end up as service dogs they do end up enriching the lives of those who adopt one of the "career change" dogs. 

The visit was also a way for Cherelle and I to say "Thank You DFD" as we marked two milestones.
April 19th was the sixth anniversary of Cherelle and I meeting and her going home with me after being matched by DFD and April 20th was her eighth birthday!  A very special month indeed.

We are still on schedule for starting our full time RV life beginning in June. Cherelle is wrapping up her vaccines and I am stocking up on the medications that she needs.  She and I need to decide which toys she wants to take with her and which she will give away.  Just like me and my husband, she will have to downsize possessions too. Personally I think she will have an easier time of it than either him or me!

Best Wishes to all
