We recently went on an indoor track at St. Louis Mills Mall. Kermit absolutely loves the mall! After all, this is one popular place that 4 Paws took the dogs to practice public work and commands. Kermit becomes a different dog when he's working, whether he's working at home or in public. He takes his work very seriously. The track was a success as always. Even with the wind outside. The wind makes it difficult because the skin cells scatter and are harder for the dogs to follow. But the bloodhound in Kermit kicks in and he's on it with no problem. Danny did great at the mall. We went early before they opened all the stores. It was a really fun experience and we even got to see the St. Louis Blues practice. Although Danny & Kermit didn't seem impressed with hockey. After all, their hearts belong to the basketball court!

Kenny was a big help at the mall. He is so good with Danny. Even the day program Danny attends has commented on how wonderful Kenny is with Danny. Kenny volunteers a lot with individuals with special needs. I'm so thankful he's been able to learn such care and compassion for other's and is so eager to help improve other's lives. The mall pictures were on Kenny's camera so I stole a copy one of his friend's snapped of him at school. He attend a tech school and is in their masonry program. We're proud of Kenny. I know we spend a lot of time on this blog talking about Kermit and Danny, but we're proud of all 3 of our boys! Just the other day at Taekwondo a young lady whom has disabilities asked the instructor who was working with her if she could have Kenny help her. She said he does the best at helping her. I was humbled as a mom. I am so grateful that instead of being resentful of the life he's been dealt having a severely disabled sibling that he has instead found the joy, strength, and special gift that special people bring to this world.
