Valentino is well and truly ready for advanced training however, I am happy to keep him forever. Whilst, we await a spot, we are diligently continuing to maintain our training skills, hopefully even fine-tuning some of them.
Valentino, in addition to his regular weekly outings, also visited a Conference for Mental Health Awareness, and as always, he reads the room and behaves accordingly.
For me, the highlight was visiting a Pow Wow. There were six different drum circles and about 200 Indigenous participants performing their traditional dance. The traditional outfits were incredible, to say the least. To see that many singing and dancing was captivating. Valentino was exposed to the loud noise level, the music, singing, dancing, and greeting some of the dancers and he was unphased. It really was the highlight of May for me, not sure what Valentino thought.
