I have been waiting to put something up because I don't want to jinx it but I can't take it anymore.

This coming Sunday, Gunner is getting evaluated for becoming a therapy dog. I did this a while back with Hero and he passed with flying colors but with Gunner...it might be a different story. I love GunGun to death, but boy he has a lot of learning to do. I have been working with him being around other dogs (must have not been socialized properly when he was younger) but he still isn't 100%. There will 4 to 5 other people there also getting evaluated on Sunday.

Besides that, Gunner is a little too forceful (maybe that is not the word?) when it comes to meeting people. He isn't as polite as I would like him to be. Maybe he will somehow know the difference between healthy people and sick /elderly people ?

Maybe I am just siking myself out?
