YT Addict | Yessssss!!! The dog trainer I work with just sent me a message. Lula's final classes start next month! I am so excited and proud of my little girl. If all goes well and she passes her test we should be in a hospital making people smile by the end of the summer. I am so freaking excited!!!

| Hey, have you ever heard the old 50's song "Be-bop-alula"? Your dogs name made me think of it. Its kind of a fun old song. |

| How do you get into this? My Shadow is still a pup, but I can see how they make people feel better. |

| I just ran a web search on therapy dogs in my area. Found a training club that also offers dog therapy. There are also organizations like the Delta Society you can check with. You'll probably need to do some training classes & get a Canine Good Citizen certificate. Its very rewarding & people genuinely seem blessed by it. |

YT Addict | Thank you guys! I'm so excited and cant wait to start making rounds. She passed her advanced class last fall. The only thing I'm nervous of is the section of the test where she has to sit calm at my side and let a stranger greet her without her jumping/getting excited. She gets a bit excited, especially with kids. So thats what we are working on now. Aside from that, she is so ready! We are always ahead of the rest of the class. She is the best

| Congratulations! That really is an accomplishment. It will be rewarding to share your little love with others, and bring a smile to their faces just like Lula Mae brings a smile to your face.
