Happy Independence Day! We took a short but slow 3.2 mile jog at Deer Creek Canyon Park this morning. It was already extremely crowded and hot by 8am, but the beauty of the park is worth it. I caught my foot on a rock and took a fall skinning elbow and knee. There is a good reason why my parents chose not to name me Grace.

Two days a week I volunteer at Freedom Service Dogs training rescued shelter dogs to become service dogs. On Tuesdays a large group of us take dogs on training outings. Some days we take the less experienced dogs to a large city park to see how they do around kids, cars, traffic, squirrels, ducks and geese; or to Home Depot or Lowes. The more experienced dogs go to the 16th Street Mall in downtown Denver to see how they do with crowds, traffic, noisy buses, etc., or to shopping malls and stores. Yesterday we went to the SouthWest Plaza Mall. They have an elevator with a glass viewing wall which startles the dogs at first, but is good experience for them. Here is the sweetheart of a dog I got to take....his name is Bobble. He is good-sized, so will probably be a brace and balance service dog. He did fantastic!

Our daughter is coming over for lunch and then we will all head out to a movie. You've got to love air-conditioning this time of year.
Have a great day.
