Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] New UCLA Grad-Not OT
Ok, you may be wondering how this is GSD related.? Well, today, Charm and I
got recertified for her therapy work.? As some of you may remember, Charm
was the 2004, GSDCA, Hero Dog, Good Will Ambassador for her work at a crisis
response incident.? Charm had to be recertified but I upped the anty as I
need her for my new job.? I'll explain that later.
Anyway, the evaluator is a UCLA professor.? He gave Charm and I a perfect
score and then some.? She got 2 pluses for her past experience.? So, she
ended up with a 4.2 GPA.? How cool is that?? Ok, there is no certificate
from UCLA for this (Not a bad idea tho) but I am allowed to say she is a
UCLA Grad.??
Ok, why I need Charm for my new job.? In a few months I will be retiring
from the LAPD after 24 yrs.? I have applied for and am working to be a
facilitator for disabled folks who qualify for assistance dogs.? My job
would be to to work with the new people in getting them aquainted with their
new dog, teach them the commands and get the dog and human to work as a
team.? I would also work with puppy raisers in the training but would not
have to take pups on myself, Whew, don't need any more dogs here, even short
term. LOL!??
Ok, so they need tapes of training and my dogs and all sorts of stuff to
accept me.? That is in the works.? But, they were highly impressed
with?Charm and when I asked if she could come with me, they said yes as long
as she was currently certified.? Well, her Cert ran out even tho we still
meet with our regulars.? So, Charm is now official, can fly in the cabin
with me and be used as a Demo dog.? Now, the big hurdle.? They don't use
GSD's.? That was my main motivation for bringing Charm.? These folks need to
see for themselves how awesome this breed is in taking care of their
humans.??
Wish us both luck in getting the job and in convincing them how wonderful
our breed can be :-)

P.S.? I have t go to Michigan in the winter.? YUK!!!!!????
