Kati arrived safely from Oregon and met up with us on Saturday morning. Kati and I actually had a chance to meet with a family here on Ft. Carson who has recently submitted an application for a service dog from ASDA and it was so neat to share with them and also allow them to meet Hazel!
Kati followed me back to the house and Josh was waiting for us. This was to be his first day of handling Hazel and we were both pretty excited to see how this would go. Our amazing babysitter took the boys to the zoo for the day and so it was just Josh, Kati and me with Hazel.
We started at the mall, where I started off handling Hazel and passed it off to Josh. He did a great job! My husband is pretty amazing :). He had this instant confidence and comfort with Hazel and she responded really well to him. We walked around the mall and went through basic commands before heading to lunch.
After lunch we hit up Sportman's Warehouse (one of Josh's favorite places - mine too actually!) and Josh continued to do an amazing job! We bought Hazel another collar (that brings the total up to 3 haha) but we determined that since she is an Army pup now, she needed a pink camo collar!
We finished fairly early on Saturday and Kati hung out at our place until the boys came home so she could meet JJ and Elliott. She then left knowing that Sunday would be a big day as it is the first day of tether training for JJ.
