Homeward Bound!

We are on our way home after a wonderful but exhausting trip! After being here so long it feels a little strange to leave. We had great families in our class and everyone at 4 Paws for Ability was helpful and encouraging. They do amazing work and we feel blessed to be part of the 4 Paws family.

I also have to give a huge shout out to Homewood Suites. They were welcoming and accommodating to all of us. Every morning started with a complimentary full breakfast buffet and the staff was so kind. It didn't take long before they figured out that Aria and Evan really liked the chocolate muffins and somehow our kids even got muffin deliveries when they were fresh from the oven! On Monday - Thursday we were greeted in the evening with a complimentary dinner complete with wine and beer! Homewood Suites quickly became a haven for us. This was also the first public place we brought Mindy and all the staff were so good about having several service dogs around. As we were checking out we complimented them on this and the reply was, "we love 4 Paws for Ability and seeing the dogs here." That's certainly a nice feeling, especially as we were learning how to work with Mindy!

It's a long trip and electronics are a great distraction!
