Sparrow continues on her amazing journey to become a service dog. This month, sheโ€™s been in heat, so she isnโ€™t out and about in her usual haunts but is working on loose leash walking (which she is acing), some cues, and some calming activities. Weโ€™ve started taking slower walks and doing more sniffing and observing the world. She loved the snow and got to run around in it and eat quite a lot of it. She had a scary (but routine) blood draw at the vetโ€™s and managed it pretty well. Sheโ€™s a very healthy, happy, beautiful pup. Next week, Sparrow goes to stay at a sitterโ€™s for a month.
