Diane,
Rowdy has been active as a Therapy Dog for the past 5 years but we've not made the time for it that we should. That's my fault. Rowdy loves it more than anything.

So, starting next week, we'll sign up for regular visits and Rowdy and I will work on our entertainment presentation -- Rowdy does doggie impressions of some famous dogs (Rin Tin Tin, Lassie) as well as some visually familiar animals like harbor seals and SharPeis. But now we have to perfect the "bang bang you're dead" trick along with a few others. He can be trained to do anything. And he loves the laughter and the hugs.

Yes, that "work" is far more important -- and far more rewarding emotionally -- than anything he's accomplished in the Breed Ring. Wish you could meet him. You'd really like him.

Jim
