I have been told that the dogs in our string are generally not cat savvy. I know that Lee and Michele have cats, but Michele's cat is a ghost and generally no one sees her except Michele. Anyone else have a dog savvy cat, or a suggestion on where we can get our dogs around cats?

The handlers love to get pictures of the dogs on outings. Please remember to include the dog only, no pics of your kids, your home or family in the shots. Shots in front of signs are ok too~like Old Sturbridge Village, Water Slides, etc.

Thanks to all who went to/are going to the Upham House to visit our friend Harry! He loves the dogs and has devoted much of his life to fund raising for NEADS through the Medfield Lions Club and as a speaker for NEADS itself. We will continue our visits until he goes home. I am looking for the following from your puppies: to be at home with the smells and people in a facility like this~it's like a hospital and our clients do spend lots of time in them. To ride the elevator calmly, no rude behavior, no excessive sniffing of or rubbing on the patients, REST or VISIT from the dogs over 9 months, leave it on the carpeting, SAY HELLO from dogs over 1 year, sit for petting for dogs under 1 year. These are in addition to normal obedient behavior. Harry is happy to help you with any and all of these.

I have been told that Hope is not doing well in the kennel, displaying fears, slow to trust, generally being a poodle.  He may not be returning with Princess and Graham when they return next Friday. 

No word on Princess yet.
