December 2022This month I worked on my therapy skills. I can now go to a specific person and apply, snuggle, visit, shake, and kiss. My duration has increased and I feel more confident then I have ever felt.
My goal for next month is to continue to build my confidence and skills. I want to help others feel safe, confident, and loved. The best way I can help others is by enriching their lives as they have enriched mine.

Hello everyone! It's Henry checking in with you. What an exciting month it has been for me. There are so many different scents in the air and they all smell so good. I even was able to taste a bit of the delicious turkey. I've been receiving more time off-leash and a lot more time to sniff. Exploring so many different locations is helping me to feel more confident. I'm loving this time of my life because I am beginning to be alone and understand that it's okay. Thank you for following me and I hope to see some of you soon.

December 2021 Update
Hello, everyone! I am the cutest yellow labrador golden retriever puppy you will ever meet! I come from a long line of cute labs (my mom, Jacki, is a black lab that’s in the New Life program). I’m smart and such a social butterfly just like my mom. I can’t wait to meet you all!
I arrived at my new school and I think it’s called Pleasant Valley State Prison. I was so excited when I got here with my brother, Spirit. I met everyone here and was placed with my new friend and handler, John. My handler told me his name and gave me hugs and kisses, which I loved! I knew right then and there that we were going to get along just fine. I also met another big dog named Delta. He is like two of me! I was so excited to meet him that my tail wouldn't stop wagging! Well, I’ve got some learning to do, I’ll talk to you all soon!
