I have a Dr. apt. in Little Rock on the 6th of May, and this would give us a chance to see my son in North-west Arkansas before the appointment in Little Rock.Dave Burdick (GoingRvWay.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10706797381982584920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753182836926532585.post-41470591495467211582014-03-01T22:35:35.040-05:002014-03-01T22:35:35.040-05:00Well Sherry, Bubba is always happy to see us when ...Well Sherry, Bubba is always happy to see us when we stop by, and does not mind seeing us go when we leave. He is so easy going. And yes, we are so looking forward to our Alaska trip....I hope we savor each and every day.

I know she appreciates her honor and the seriousness of her work. How does Bubba feel about all this??

Skruffy looked at me like I was crazy. We took her to church with us Saturday night (special service for an out-of-town guest speaker) and we showed her off...then had her wait in the cool car.

Although Skruffy won't be trained to do lots of things, that which she is already able to do is going to be a huge relief to Marcia who has been petrified every time she is left alone for any period of time. Her mother had a fall once and was on the ground for 7 hours before Marcia's brother found her. Back then cell phones were big and clumsy. If we were not on the road for 8 months of the year, we would probably have Skruffy go through some professional training, but it just is not practical right now....nor is there a need for it. But when a person has MS, you never know when they might have a need for more services.

I know how much time and dedication it takes to work with your animal to became service dog partners. I see lots of 'wannabees' these days who don't know the difference between a companion and service animal. My friend, Leo Bustad, was one of the initial founders of the Delta Society. His wife, Signe, had one of the first hearing service animals. Thank you for the service you & Skruffy will provide--well done!Dawn from Camano Islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256146499762272641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753182836926532585.post-19221376166209394522014-03-01T17:01:33.638-05:002014-03-01T17:01:33.638-05:00Scruffy looks mighty spiffy and is ready for servi...Scruffy looks mighty spiffy and is ready for service! <br />Good job mom and dad!

Remember, she doesn't want to 'make a statement' unless she has to.<br />I hadn't heard of "The Milepost," but will certainly keep it in mind if / when I make that trip by RV. I've been to Alaska several times and have loved it just that much more each time. I just know you're going to have a trip of a lifetime.mps2343https://www.blogger.com/profile/06059253597064329074noreply@blogger.com
