The subject line was my 30th attempt, and I'm sticking with it!
Barry and Moritz breezed through Bozeman last night, on their way to Denver
for a book signing (and pawtographing!). What a delightful pair -- both are
very handsome and charming. For those of you in the Denver area, you can
meet them in person Wednesday evening (December 4th) at 7:30 at a bookstore
named The Tattered Cover (Tattered Page? it's Tattered SOMETHING!) in
Cherry Creek.
I can certainly see why Moritz is such a success with therapy work, and
Barry's book, Nose to Nose, is an absolute treasure. He describes how he
and puppy Moritz came to find each other in Switzerland, his return to
Montana, and his early experiences with Moritz as a Delta pet partner team.
I've been doing the same work with Maddie for a year and a half now,
struggling to get an official local "club" going (Intermountain Therapy
Animals, a Delta affiliate). I'm so proud to say that we are now a very
strong ITA club, with over 20 active therapy dog teams. And three weeks
ago, we just trained and tested another 17 teams -- my 16-month old Major
passed with flying colors, and will be joining Maddie and me in these
wonderful activities. Anyone interested in therapy work is more than
welcome to contact me privately and I'll be happy to help in whatever way I
can. Berners are typically excellent at this very worthwhile and rewarding
activity.
