Picture
Checkov gets really relaxed! when he is in his crate at bedtime! It is a raised crate in the dining room that he views as his throne! Even with the door open he is up and can watch everything! And he's not shy about asking for a table snack!

THERAPY DOG - CRICKET - Cricket passed away on August 20, 2016 at age 14.25 years old.

Picture
     Cricket came to us from Arlene Long, in Nebraska in Spring 2002. She has been the best Cairn Terrier we could have wanted and has served us well. Or have WE served her? I suppose it's a matter of opinion.
     Cricket worked with me in our Adult Foster Home for Mentally Handicapped adults and was priceless for me as a guide to what my resident's needed, what their aggressiveness level was (that Cricket understood and I didn't) and was their friend as well.
     I took Cricket for training and testing and she was certified as a Registered Therapy Dog with Delta Society and we were able to take Cricket wherever the Foster Home residents needed to go, even into the hospital. When she was there, they were more comfortable and she helped us manage their care more completely with her help.
     Cricket gave us several litters of puppies, then retired to watch over ME! for the rest of her life - as well as train the new puppies who come in the house being the best Granny Dog they could want. She teaches them good manners, social behaviors (like don't interrupt Granny Dog's nap).
     As a hunter, Cricket is undaunted - even spending hours hunting mice in grass, squirrels in bushes, and chasing chipmunks around a campsite. Digging in soft soil can take hours and she will literally bury herself in the hole she digs.
     Cricket is a neutral dog and will not go after a cat and rarely after another dog, except just to identify who he is.

Here are Sancha and Trisket taking a nap with Granny. Do we need a bigger bed? These two girls have left for their new homes now, so Granny can have the whole bed to herself.
