Graduation Day!

So, there was no test anxiety for May, here she is the night before playing with her frozen peanut butter kong and taking a little nap.

So, we thought we were issue free, but no had to have some car problems, noticed powering steering going in and out yesterday, Denny took it in for diagnostic right away this morning, sure enough need a new steering pump, but good news they could get it done today.  So we got a loaner car, so the dealer dropped me and May off at the mall in time for our public access test and Denny and Joe went to deal with paper work for car and loaner and then came and picked me and May up...Great news May and I passed with flying colors no problems!  So back to 4 Paws for paperwork and graduation party.

      May wasn't sure about this different vehicle, just couldn't get comfortable, but enjoyed looking out the window on our way back to 4 Paws.

 Families, volunteers and foster families, and college students who all helped with our dogs are all present for graduation.

 May is official!  And she's looking around the room at all her doggie friends.

 Joe prompted May up on the couch with him and commanded "Lap" it brought tears to my eyes as he sat and said "I'm mad, I'm mad, it's to loud"  without May Joe would not have stayed in this kind of environment let alone verbalized what was wrong, May's doing her thing already, she rocked it, even though I lost it to tears.

Jermey announces that we all passed and welcome to graduation!
