Erik Finds Out About Blue

Last night I received and email from 4 Paws for Ability! It is the first email I have ever received my mom always get emails but never me! Ok enough about that. My mom clicked on the email for me and she started crying. She read me the email. To be honest with you I was trying to go watch Spongebob but she held me there and read the email to me and showed me a picture of my new Autism Assistance Dog! His name is Blue's Clues but everyone calls him Blue!

Now if you know me you know I try to talk but I only have a few words that I am able to say, I have learned some sign language but talking is hard. I have recently started saying "Dog" so mom kept pointing to Blue and saying "Erik's Dog, Erik's Dog Blue"! I started saying Dog whenever she would and mom kept encouraging me to say Blue. I finally tried it and said what sounds like "Boo"! My mom started crying again. Does your mom cry as much as mine does? Anyway, she keeps showing me Blue's picture and we are going today to make a few copies of it so I can have one at school and other places.

I get to meet Blue and go to training on September 23rd. Blue is in Ohio! We will be in Ohio for 13 days and mom and I started this blog so we could let everyone know about me and Blue! I want you to read the letter that Blue sent me! He loves peanut butter and so do I, we have so much in common already and we haven't even met yet. I can't wait to tell you all about Blue and all the fun thing we do together so keep checking back!

Hey Erik, My name is Blue and I am a boy, Black Lab. My real name is Blue's Clue's but they all call me Blue. I am a fun dog and can't wait to play with you. I hope you like to play ball and play the tracking game. Do you like to eat? I love to eat. I love hot dogs especially and Peanutbutter in my Kong. I love Tennis balls too! I want to go everywhere you go and do everything you do and play and play and play! Can I sleep in your room? Will you really, really be my best friend? I never had a best friend before and I have wanted one for so very long. Now it is almost the day you will come and meet me! Not long now. I am so very excited! Hurry up my best buddy ever and get here so we can start having fun! xoxoxoxoxo Blue

I am so excited that this trip is finally coming to fruition for a boy who truly deserves a dog who completely understands him! They are going to have some fun hikes to the creek together and maybe mama can finally regain some sanity after having spent so many years worrying about this bugs safety. Yay for BLUE! Yay for ERIK! We can't wait to meet Blue! "Bah-bow!"
