Really awesome!!
And I didn't see it as rambling... :) :)
Thank you again and Kudos to the dedication that you show!!!
Thank you. Those videos remind us all why we do this. Another "rule" is that if you work with the dogs, you cannot work with the recipients and vice versa. Sadly we had too many insensitive volunteers tell recipients that they hated to see their favorite dog go and how much they'd miss them. One child was in tears because she thought she was stealing someone's dog. I miss that interaction with the recipients, but a few bad apples ruined it for the rest of us who never forgot that these dogs share just a moment of their lives with us and are destined for greater things!
