Ronday the Dog!

Hey Everyone! I am new to this blogging thing so please bear with me!
We have had an amazing week. I was so excited for it to happen and now I am just plain exhausted. Here's our story: While researching different ways to reach children with disabilities, I came across this animal assisted therapy program using dogs with children who have a multitude of disabilities, from physical to emotional. A good friend of mine is a veterinarian and she also helped me research this kind of program.
I teach special education and my son has Down Syndrome; therefore I am very interested in programs such as this. I met another teacher from another school has has a therapy dog named Tux. Tux is a golden retriever (a beautiful one, by the way) and he comes to school with Sandy. To make a long story short, we became friends and I decided to apply for a therapy dog for Trenton, my son.
We found out June 18 that we needed to be in Concordia June 23rd for training because they had a dog that would be great for us. They wanted to surprise us with the breed so we had no idea what we were getting until Monday. That was quite the experience - to sit in a room and watch dogs come in and be placed with people and they keep going past you - and then one is placed in front of you and you know it's just perfect!
We have Ronday, a tri -color Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
