Wildrose Workshop

Rex and family attended the diabetic alert dog workshop in Oxford, MS over the past weekend and made new friends as well as learned a lot about service dogs and diabetes.
It was a fun filled 3 days. Rex worked on scent discrimination and did great. Seth played in the woods and by the pond.

Training Rex !

We are home from our first training session and we learned so much. Rex alerts to both high and low blood sugars. He does really well with the high's. He is learning his basic obedience and is very smart.
I am looking forward to our 2nd training workshop at Wildrose Kennels ( where Rex is from) at the end of the month.

Rex

Hi everyone !
Just wanted to let you know that Donna EMT-B ,NA has started a "Doggy Drive". She has drawn a Doggy and submitted it to all the students of Falcon Hill Elementary School, any student that would like to donate $1 can color a Doggy and hang it in the Falcon Hill's hall, starting at the health office and walking their way around the school. She has had a tremendous amount of supporters and the drive is on it's way .
Thank You Donna for all your hard work creating and coordinating this drive, we appreciate everything you are doing to help Seth reach his goal and get his Diabetic Alert Dog.

Donna is Falcon Hill's Health Aide and cares for Seth every day.
