"Is tu gra mo croi."
Jayden's Rowena, or Rowena (meaning: "White Mane") is the name of the beautiful black and white freckled Border Collie that I have raised and trained to become my service dog. She has given me something that many care providers have never been able to give me... an increase in my level of functioning that has enabled me to become a more active member of my community. This is a journal of the triumphs and trials of our wonderful partnership.
On May 13, 2006 Rowena passed her Canine Good Citizen test! She was the ninth dog to be tested that day (out of about 10 or 11 dogs) and I didn't think she'd be ready. I felt she was very scattered that day... distracted, but she was attentive enough to pass the test! Next for goals: She needs to pass her Public Access Test. Wish us luck!
