My Weekend

My weekend started off with a bang (big bangs) you could say. Thunder Bay had one of the worst thunder storms. It lasted for almost 12 hours with lots of light, noise and water. Mom also made me have a bath.
On Saturday morning, mom woke me up early, groomed me, brushed my teeth & gave me a new collar. She took me to this place where there were 8 other doggies & their mommies or daddies. We took a 2 hour test. You are looking at one of the newest members of the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Services. The tests were fun. Out of the 8 dogs who tried out, 2 were asked to leave, because of shyness. I am one of the youngest dogs to pass the evaluation test. The new collar is a buckle collar only for when I'm working. There is a seniors facility down the street from us & that is where I will be visiting. I have to do 3 visits with a mentor & 7 other visits to get my certification. Then mom & I get our uniforms. Because I am so little (9 lbs) I am able to be on the bed with a patient or ride with them in thier wheelchairs. The big dogs have to stay on the floor or rest on thier owners legs to reach a patient in bed.
Where's Ruby? Because of the storm, we have millions of leaves scattered in our backyard. Those dried up brown things that stick to my fur are everywhere. See if you can spot me without enlarging the picture. We spent Sunday afternoon trying to clean up some of these leaves.

Now it's time for me & mom to cuddle for a while before bedtime.

Love Ruby
