We are leaving for Ohio in the morning! Daily in depth training updates will be posted here! We meet Zeppelin on the 18th! 

INTRODUCING ZEPPELIN! 

HEY!!! Zeppelin here! 

Yep like the MAN, Led Zepplin! In case you can’t figure it out I am from the Rockstar litter because we ROCK N ROLL but mostly we just ROCK as in the BEST. Okay so we are Golden Retrievers and I was born here at 4 Paws to my Mom, Lyric and Dad, Vic. I was born 9-27-2011 WHOO WHOOT My birthday is coming and you will be here. I got two presents for my birthday, yep! YOU!! But even still you can bring me some other presents too, you will won’t you? Huh? Pretty Please??? I like Kong toys and Nylabones, and tennis balls, and Puperoni. So when you get here we can play and hang out and have so much fun together like smelling the grass, peeing on fire hydrants (shhhh don’t tell service dogs are not supposed to do that in uniform so we have to play that game when my vest is not on) Do you like to do those things? When the other dogs in class see us they will be sooooo jealous cuz they all only got one kid and I got two!! And I will just strut and around and look proud cuz who wouldn’t be with partners like you? Yoda Man told me to watch out because one of you is a Jedi? Is that true? Do you have one of them Jedi beam things like Yoda Man has? That’s pretty cool. Well Jedi or not you are all mine and I am waiting here for you to come and take me home! 

See ya soon xoxoxoxo  Zepplin

We meet Zeppelin on Sep 18, 2012.

 After a 2 week training class at 4 Paws for Ability he will be coming home with us. LOVE his rockstar name! 

Less than one month left! 

I made this video for our class. 

Every class "begs" for their dog matches  before we go to Ohio. We should be finding out one week or so before our class date. 

Stay Tuned! 

A little under 4 weeks left and we will be heading to Ohio! In about 3 weeks we will be getting a picture and letter from our service dog! More to come!

In about 2 months from today we will be finding out what the name and breed of Eddie and Elisabeth's service dog! 

When we first started this journey it felt like it was going to take a long time to get it accomplished. We started fundraising in June of 2011 and by December 2011 we finished! In January 2012 we found out our class date in Ohio and the months are passing by fast! We are almost done! 

We have an official class date!

September 18-28!!!

We are all looking forward to a new adventure and bringing our service dog home with us!

Would any of you still be interested in helping a child in need of a service dog?

There are many children in need of dogs who are still fundraising to get their special friend.

Take a look at the 4 Paws For Ability, Make A Dream Come True page. There you will find stories of other kids and their families doing the same thing we did!

Much Love and Many Thanks for Our Family to Yours!!
