Red has a big weekend coming up. Saturday, we finish our testing for a therapy certificate from Therapy Dogs Of Vermont, we have two supervised nursing home visits where Red will be tested for composure, grounded, responsiveness, connection and temperament, the last leg in a two-month therapy training program from Therapy Dogs Of Vermont.  We plan to work with veterans and are focusing on the Cambridge, N.Y./Bennington, Vt. area once he gets his certificate.

Sunday is Open House at the farm, and Red will be performing his sheepherding stuff. This will be a big year for Red, he has hones his herding skills, and now will bring move of us into the next chapter in our lives together. I trust Red, he is up to anything and he inspires me to be the same.
