Sorry Michigan fans but I'm not talking about your team, I'm talking about the staff and students at Wolf's Crossing, who we are proud to call our friends! We went back to see them today and did a short demo for the whole school. Over the past month their Student Council has been collecting change to benefit the Canine Companions for Independence (CCI).
During the Demo Amy talked about and showed how I help her be more independent in her day to day life. We showed how I can pick up dropped items: keys, a piece of paper, a credit card, and even her seat belt. Amy also talked about some of the other ways I can help her like: getting the phone, helping her out of her couch, pulling open doors and possibly even turning on/off light switches that are hard to reach. One thing she forgot to mention is how I can "speak" on command to alert others to the fact that she needs their help. Though I must say we are 1/3 in successful "speak" attempts, not because of me, but because of the fact that the people whose attention she was trying to get, couldn't hear me barking!
