Erica plays in the Michigan Marching Band.  Ruby was glad to see her Foster Mom Erica again.

Ruby and I visited at Hazel Park Masonic Lodge to help with degree work  tonight.  As far as we can tell we are the only Service Dog Team in a Lodge afffiliated with the Grand Lodge of Michigan.  There is another Past Master who is a Foster Puppy Raiser for Paws With A Cause but we are, as far as we can determine, the only Certified Service Dog Team.

Merry Christmas
