9/17/2020 - Family visit with Bridget

The kids have been so anxious to meet Bridget. We were able to take the whole family out to meet her tonight & the kids immediately loved her too. It's only been a few days since she received the heartworm treatment, but she was already feeling much better. The heartworm treatment typically zaps their energy & strength for a week, or two so it was so nice to see her feeling well. She was happy & bouncing about, but always staying near to give plenty of kisses. One of the tasks that she will be learning for me is to bark to alert others when I need help. She's really making the trainer work hard for that one, lol. Thankfully with the help of one of his dogs, he found a way to prompt her though, way to go Bridget, you will get this is no time!

The trainer is being so kind & has said that we can go out to see her as much as we like. I'm sure he's a busy man though so we are planning to keep it at once a week for now. For now she has to remain calm, but after she has had a chance to completely recover from the heartworms & training becomes more intense, then he has mentioned having us out a couple times a week so that I can work with her as well. I'm so excited to see her progress!
