Sharon Stowe said… - Your comments are very finny! I think my dogs are also good therapy for themselves too. If the blanket is messed up my female will cry until someone fixes it for her...and we do. My husband thinks our male thinks I leave the house just to bring back a toy for him. Cesar Milan would not be happy!
My female GSD is an animal assist therapy dog. She comes to work with me everyday (mental health counselor) and on Thursday am we read with kids at BlueRidge elementary school in Walla Walla. Morgan the dog is the queen of the school and the kids do not know my name or they call me Megan (not Sharon?!). It is a kick in the pants and I love the thought the kids will ask me (constantly) if they can READ with her. I would like to visit school with several people. Dogs and kids are a great combo.

- Hi Krista,
Thank you for your very nice comments. I love all your dogs and especially the pictures of the "lap" dogs. My husband and i also have a 120 lb male GSD who is a big lap dog too. It sounds like your dogs would make good therapy dogs.

- Krista, I'm talking with some standard manchester breeders. I'm considering... You know anyone? I grew up with a manchester, and didn't realize how rare they are now. Also, are there any current breed issues? I've read, and can see nothing but the regular cautions.

Shana Bobbitt said… - Up where? I am in Walla Walla. One of the best little weight pull Bostons I know is completely deaf. The club that I was active in is based out of Longview WA but I don't compete currently - finances are tighter now and I have moved onto other hobbies - at least for now...

- Tell us about your dog(s)! Breed? Names(?) Age(s)?
- We have 4 dogs. Moby is our newest. He is a 1.5 year old English Bulldog, and he is deaf due to an antibiotic called Jenicin. But he is very special and a wonderful pet. Our German shepherd dog is a rescue and her name is Sydney (Kribingate's Grande Pryze RN) she is almost 9 years old. Kipper is our 11 year old Cairn terrier rescue, and Cruiser is our Boston Terrier (Bex Cruisn' for a Bruisin' RN) He is losing his vision due to a subluxated lens in his right eye so he is quietly retired from the show ring and obedience, but will spend his days basking in the sun and finding comfortable places to lay around, he is 6 years old. Ariel is our Bernese mt dog that I show, she is owned by Shelly Leary and Collette Coiner and I just handle her, but she is a joy to have around and will be starting her rally and obedience career this fall. She is 2 and a half.
