Thank YOU for this inspiring video. I live near the NEADS campus and often care for puppies from the Early Learning Center on weekends. In fact, my husband and I cared for Tina one weekend when she was probably 8-9 weeks old, along with another NEADS puppy, a chocolate laboradoodle. I still remember Tina instigating a crazy, noisy racing match on the wood floor around our kitchen table -- and she totally won. :) How heartwarming to see what a great team you are now. MANY blessings to you both!
@PrincetonMA1 Tina is still an instigator and still faster than her friends. Small by Lab standards, 52lbs. She’s very powerful and has three dog friends here in Adrian. She is such a great dog. The manager at the high rise I live in says “She is the smartest resident here." I know she's to smart for my own good somtimes.
I miss Tina so much! I had the pleasure of working with Tina as a weekend puppy raiser. I was able to bring Tina to school once a week with me so my students could be a part of this wonderful experience. I met Matt at the NEADS meet and greet and could tell that Matt and Tina made a perfect match. I wish both Matt and Tina the best. Please keep sharing pictures and video!!
@teecha9891 Your part as a puppy raiser was a key part of Tina’s training. She loves kids, “she thinks they taste like chicken” ;) Seriously I know that being able to go to visit your class and spending time in your home helped her to learn things that just can’t be done at NEADS or JJ Moran. Thanks
What a priceless video....many blessings for you both, though personal I believe the two of you are already so blessed with each other...Thanks for sharing !
I love Tina.. she is such a smart dog, you are so lucky to have her! My husband was an inmate trainer at JJ and he used to bring Tina down for visits once in a while. My "fondest" memory is once when she got so excited, she bit my nose! I know she didn't do it on purpose- but it was still funny! Glad to see she is doing so well- and I will pass the news of this video along to her trainer in JJ
@amychristine11 I am 100% sure that I speak for everyone who has a NEAD’S dog, “We appreciate everything that ALL of the trainers did to help train the dogs!” Just so you know she still gets rowdy now and then in my apartment, and wakes me up at sunrise to let me know it’s time to get up. Just like a kid.
WOW!!! Love love LOVE that video. Thank you so much for posting this. I am a WPR out of MCI Plymouth and watching the two of you together just underscores why I do what I do. You look like a fabulous team!
Tina is a beautiful, smart, fantastic dog!!! I totally understand why she is so special to you!!! Nice meeting you today and Get Well soon!!!
