As we run about to meetings, create partnerships and make friends in the community, and continue to get things rolling here in JC, we once again can't give enough thanks to the people and pets in RVA that we've known over the years. So with that said, it's highlight time!
I met Chloe, a cattle dog/anatolian mix when Rowan first started coming to basic manners classes, and despite being a bitty tween at the time, Chloe graduated and excelled at not only Basic Manners, but Calm Dog as well. We all still laugh about Chloe showing her skills on one of the many manners courses, giving Settles when other dogs gave standard Downs, and then learning to differentiate between the two. I can still hear other students in my head right now:
"Wait, are we supposed to have our dogs do that?"
Nope! Chloe was just showing off her extracurriculars.
With a move that took two months instead of a few weeks, Rowan reached out when we were scrambling to make things fit and stepped in to help out, further showing that people can and will go above and beyond to help one another (something we all share in common).
Our Bowie is still missing Chloe and Rowan (Mudra adjusted a little faster, but that's Muds for you), and we often joke about the fluffkids skyping together. We look forward to Chloe growing into an adult, and all the antics that will come her way (especially with her new kitten pals).
Miss you both (and Tilly too)!
