First Retirment Home Visit

        
     Tonight our family was invited to attend a Christmas Program held at a local Retirement Community. Eric was going to be playing his guitar so we decided to bring Sophie along with us.  She gets very excited now when we put her "Therapy Dog In Training" bandana on. This is her signal that she will be going with us and meeting new people.

      Sophie was very well behaved! She got lots of compliments for her good behavior. The residence seemed to enjoy her presence and she definitly enjoyed getting her tummy scratched.  
     I have been teaching her to sit or lay down when I stop and talk or stand. She did very well remembering, and I only had to remind her a few times. We still need to work on our "heeling" and "leave it". But she is making great progress!

A special Thank You to Sun Ridge Retirement Community for letting Sophie visit!
