Settling In

My apologies for the lack of updates recently. I know you are all eager to know how the bond between Ivy and Cayleb is growing. We moved to Acton from Milton in November and due to some technical difficulties, have yet to have internet access at home. This makes sharing photos difficult. I promise to bombard the blog once we do in fact internet hooked up!

In the meantime, we have had Ivy at home for almost 3 months now and things are going well. Ivy and Cayleb's bond is growing. Of course we are still learning and working on things with Ivy. One issue that has come up, is that Cayleb has been over feeding Ivy on occasion, which has led to a weight gain. Now that I figured out why Ivy has been putting on weight, we are working towards getting her back to her optimum weight.

Ivy enjoys greeting people, which she is not allowed to do in jacket. This has also become an issue as Ivy has greeted strangers in the grocery store or in a restaurant. Having to continually tell people to please ignore the dog is tiresome. I think a HUGE service dog awareness campaign is in order! DON'T TOUCH or TALK TO THE DOG!!! Sigh.

We had a great Christmas with Ivy and took her on her first camping trip last weekend. I cannot wait to share the photos! Thanks for your continued support. The fundraisers we continue to run are selling chocolate bars at Tomken Station and private donations. Mabel's Label's is an ongoing fundraiser.
