Good citizenship

We are in the final countdown to our departure. It's less than a week away. Progress is happening, much has been done, although it seems that much still remains. We had dinner with some friends the other night and the fact that we are leaving really began to hit me. I've been too busy to really think about it much up till now. I was hoping that we'd have everything finished a week ahead of time so we could take the last week to just relax, reflect, and do some things that we really enjoy. But maybe being busy is better. 

One thing that I've wanted to accomplish is getting Bailey to pass the Canine Good Citizen test. It's not required by any means and it's just a certificate from the AKC that probably doesn't mean squat in Europe anyway, but I thought it might be something good to have, perhaps to make landlords feel more inclined to rent to us. Erika is certified to administer the test and we did so yesterday evening. As you can see from the smiles and blue ribbon, she passed and I was very proud of her.

Thank you to Kim who was there and helped with the stranger greeting part of the test.

And thank you to Kevin for helping out as well. Sorry I cut his head off, but mine looked bad.

Bailey got some quality time with Kevin afterwards.

Not eating the children should count as extra credit, right?
