Congratulations to both of you! Kiwi is an amazing dog. My dog Daisy takes very good care of my father, who is also in a wheelchair. She's not a service dog or anything, but she is very gentle with him and she worries about him. He recently had a tracheotomy and is now on a ventilator. Daisy used to jump onto his lap and kiss his face, but she knows now she has to be more gentle around his neck and is content just to sit on his lap and have him pet her. She is so good for him too and makes him so happy. We are all so lucky to have our caring babies. Congrats again to Kiwi and her Mom, and good luck to Java in filling Kiwi's shoes!
