Dog Dreams

"The dog was created specially for children. He is the god of frolic." - Henry Ward Beecher

                                 BEN AND SAM HAVE A DOG!!!

                                                               (BEN and SAM SCHWENKER)

         MEET "BARKLEY" BEN AND SAM'S NEW AUTISM ASSISTANCE SERVICE DOG!
 
      Thanks to everyone who helped Ben and Sam's "Dog Dreams" come true!
 

The long awaited day has finally arrived! On the evening of 09/03/09, Barkley sent Ben and Sam an email announcing he will be their Service Dog.  Barkley is a Bloodhound / Labrador Retriever mix named after the the Seasame Street muppet dog character. See     http://www.sesamestreet.org/onair/characters/barkley

We will be traveling to Xenia, OH, for the required Service Dog Training Sept. 14 thru 25th.  We will post daily pictures and videos recording our adventure to share with everyone.  Also, you can join the 4PawsforAbility networking sight for Jennifer Schwenker at:   http://4pawsdogs.ning.com/profile/JenniferSchwenker  for additional pictures, videos and chat.  Share in the moment with us as we welcome the newest member of our family.

Again, thanks to everyone who helped this dream become a reality for our boys. We are truly thankful for the generous giving of church family, work collegues, friends, family and anonymous contributors.

Sincerely,

Michael, Jennifer, Ben and Sam Schwenker
