Erik & Blue at Therapy

On Wednesday Erik has Occupational Therapy! He really likes his therapist her name is Staci! When we first met Staci we brought Blue with us and she was really excited she did her thesis on service dogs and using them in therapy session! She said at some point she wanted to include Blue in Erik's therapy.

This week she was able to include Blue in the session! It was really exciting! Erik cannot stand to go on his stomach or crawl on his knees! Of course Erik & Blue hadn't even been in the therapy room 5 seconds when they found a tennis ball! She was able to get Erik to lay on his stomach across a ball, raise up on his arms and throw a ball to Blue! He sat on a ball and twisted his trunk also to throw the ball for Blue! They both did so great! Blue was a little crazy since a tennis ball was involved but all in all he did really well! She took some pictures and I wanted to share them with you!

We can't wait to see what else Blue can help Erik achieve! We have been so blessed and are really excited to see what the future holds for Erik and Blue, it just keeps getting better! Hugs and Love from our gang will keep you posted!
