Such a Hard Decision

This last week we have made a very hard decision. We have a decided to have Bindi switched out for a different dog. I was really hoping I could get her to settle down in time but I came to realize that wasn't going to happen.

When we are out and about Bindi is very nervous and takes so much of my time away from Noah.

She does wonderful at home and has always been all about Noah.

When we are out and about I would take the strap of her vest and loop it around Noah's seat belt on his chair to try and keep her from doing a lap dance on Noah's lap. Sadly that didn't stop her from doing her lap dance but instead wore the fur off of her shoulder. That's when I realized that we can't keep Bindi. It will take time to find a new dog but until then we will enjoy Bindi at home.

OSU Basketball Day

Finally a fun day after all the appointments this month.

Noah really enjoys watching the boys shoot around.

Micah Potter took the time to say Hi to Noah and he remembered him from last year. He said all the boys are adjusting to the change in coaching and they are getting ready for a great season that starts in 70 days.

I'm sure you noticed that Bindi wasn't in any of the pictures Scott posted yesterday. We decided to give Bindi the day off. It was actually nice getting a break from her. She does a wonderful job keeping Noah less anxious and she sure does look cute on his lap but she struggles sometimes. She can be skittish and also gives Noah a lap dance when we are going from one thing to the next. This is why I was asking about  a trainer a few weeks ago. I have never really trained a dog before and had actually thought Bindi would come to us fully trained. I've been working with her on my own. She is doing much better then when we first got her but still has some work to do. 

       

   Bindi sure was glad to see Noah when we got home last night, she didn't want  to leave his side.                                                                Noah was happy to see her too.

ABR Spring Training 2017

We had a great ABR trip to Toronto.

Bindi was the best traveler.

Bindi learning what she needs to do to help Noah during therapy.

I say she is doing a pretty good job. They are both asleep. Usually Noah is very agitated while we are at training.

Noah/Bindi

Noah and Bindi have busy getting out in the community.

They have gone to Dalton's AAU basketball games.

They went to go see Guardian's Of The Galaxy together.

Bindi is never to far from Noah. This is her waiting while I feed Noah.

She loves to sit on his lap.

 

It's been so neat to watch their relationship grow.

A Companion Dog for Noah

Noah got to meet his companion dog, Bindi on Friday. I think they are going to make a great pair.

It didn't take her long to lay down on Noah's lap.

She is such a sweet dog. She was really good with Noah and didn't mind his big movements when he went to pet her and that's with no training. She will be even better when she is  done with training.

She fits perfectly on his lap. I think Noah is saying that his dog is #1.

 

 Noah can't wait until we can take her places to show her off.

If you would like to help us out to off set the cost of her trainers fee, I set up a PayPal account under noahsmiracle@yahoo.com. or you can send it in the mail to 118 W. Main Shelby Ohio 44875. 

Thanks for always being one of Noah's Earth Angels.
