We have some exciting news to share! We took Sam for a
TDI (Therapy Dog International) test this morning and he passed! Our Sam is now a therapy dog!

I'll admit, I was a bit nervous, which is why I hadn't mentioned on the blog we were attempting this. There were two parts of this test that we were worried about. The first was a 3 minute stay where I had to leave the room. Sam hates to be separated from me, but he passed this part with flying colors! The second,which most of the other dogs where failing at, was ignoring food on the ground. They tossed chicken in front of Sam and he walked over it twice without even looking at it. The evaluators were amazed that a Golden would ignore food. Shoot, I was amazed Sam ignored the food.
Sam is getting a well earned nap right now - both Monty and he have had treats to celebrate and lots of loving.
