Izzy signing in,

After an hour and a half car ride, hour wait, we began our evaluation. Mom and I went in and talked with a nice lady named Sue. Mom and Sue talked about what was to come and she gave Mom some pointers. Finally we went in, Mom walked me around the room so I could get more comfortable. Let me tell you, the room was warm and Mom spoke to the evaluator about it. Mom let her know that much of my panting is normal, but the room is warm which is unusual for me.

I just do not know why Mom was so nervous. She knows me like the back of her hand. She knew the one exercise that I would hesitate on. Those silly people, I didn’t want to be in that warm room and found the door to the outside. Mom talked to the evaluator about it. When it came to that one exercise, the evaluator was to pet me and Mom was to call me. That is all fine and dandy, I will go to Mom. Here is the thing, the evaluator and I are next to that exit door and Mom is all the way across the room. Now I am not stupid and neither is Mom. Mom said, “I can tell you right now, Izzy wants to go out that door, she is hot and wants fresh air.” So, the evaluator said, “Let’s see what she does.” Well, Mom called me, I wagged my tail and did not move. Ha, Mom told her so. The evaluator smiled, and moved me away from the door to another corner of the room. Mom called and I came without hesitation. Mom knew, another feather in our cap. Woof.

After all was done, the evaluator passed us. The only concern was the environment we would go in. She said some places are hot, Mom said, then we won’t go there. I would never be put in a situation that is uncomfortable for Mom or me.

Oh, Oh, at the beginning of the evaluation, Mom spoke of Ted and showed all the people my pink tripawd pendant. She told them we were doing this in his honor. The evaluator said, this is hard for the two of you to do without him. Mom said, “Yes”

We did it Ted E. Bear!!!! Thank you for watching over us. We love and miss you very much.

Until next time,

Izzy signing out.
