You are in for an amazing week. I know it seems crazy right now getting ready to leave and imagining your family functioning without you for a whole week, but believe me, it is good for you and it will be good for them!!!

I leave on Saturday to go to Oregon to train with Hazel for our son, JJ, and this is such an awesome insight into what happens during Oregon training. But also you gave beautiful voice to the emotions that I think all parents must be feeling before a major change like this, I can definitely relate to the “are we going to screw this up?” “will we undo all her training?” Thank you for posting about the training, I can’t wait to read more about your journey and Gray’s with Hope

I am happy to answer any questions you might have as you make your decision. So far, our whole family is very happy with our new family member!

I am in serious consideration of the fit of an ASDA dog for our son. Being connected to the organization on fb is wonderful but learning more about the lives of the families is so very helpful and inspiring. Best of luck in this new phase!
