It is a wonderful organization, or else I wouldn't have dragged myself out of bed at 5 yesterday morning to set up for our first garage sale. You should have seen all the stuff that was donated! Huge hit! In the two hours that I was manning the table, I think we raised over $500 and it still had six more hours to go.

I'm looking forward to next month when we're having our third annual pumpkin patch. We have a bake sale, a candy tent, face painting, Canine Assistants in training dressed up in Halloween costumes and a picture booth where kids can have their pictures taken with the dogs.

Even before they are partnered with their person, many of our dogs are already working. We have several schools with reading programs where our dogs go and let the kids read to them. We've been doing this for about five years now, and we have more and more schools signing up for the program.

We also visit the Ronald McDonald House with our dogs. Did I mention I love this organization?
