So Sheffield has been attending Therapy Dog training class. He does really well in the classes and he loves getting extra attention (away from Madison). The Good Dog Foundation is pretty awesome. They have networks in place with my hospitals and re-hab type places throughout the city. Our class has about 9 dogs in the class. Sometimes the same people don't come every week since there are 3 places to take class. The few i am mentioning below come every week to the same location like us.

Bamboo - is an Olde English Sheepdog. He is HUGE. Sheffield had no idea if that was a dog or not at first! He is really sweet, and a great size if you were sitting in a wheel chair. His head still comes up over your lap!!!

Ruby - a cinnoman colored retired greyhound. She is so mellow, OMG. She regularly falls asleep in class! haha. Her owner is so nice too. Sheffield and Ruby are becoming tight friends. (must be a westie-greyhoun thing).

Channel - Golden Retreiver, 1 years old. She is such a sweetheart, but still has some puppy mannerisms that make her irresistable.

Brenda- an oreo-type colored shih tzu puppy. She is so sweet and friendly and great for placing in laps. She is a love muffin, but her and Sheffield want to romp around and get into trouble together... haha.

Then Sheffield!! The trainer says that Sheffield is a little shy/timid, but that he recovers quick. Also that his reaction to being scared is to hide behind mommy, which is more desirably then barking, lounging, etc. Sheffield does get overwhelmed with all the dogs in class sometimes, but as soon as people come over to him, he just waits to be petted. He knows where class is, and his tail wags before we enter the building!!!
