Today we say farewell to @NEADSdogs Candy. For her last day of training with us we visited Tougas Farm with her BFF Dusty. Good luck to her as she moves on to assist her forever friend!

[Doug Grandin @DougGrandin]

@NEADSdogs Candy spent the day in Boston, riding cars, trains and ferrys. Lots of traffic work, historic sights and crowds. Of course, she did fantastic!

‘ello, guv’nor! @NEADSdogs Candy enjoys some tea and crumpets at the Rotary Club car show at the
Mansfield airport #BMCNE

@NEADSdogs Candy “won” the @bogironbrewing 0.0K today at #FrancisFarm in Rehoboth. Along with fellow pup Dusty, she stood for charity and took home the gold!

This is what I found on my phone when I asked for a picture of my cute dog @bogironbrewing #0.0

@NEADSdogs in training Candy enjoyed a beautiful day in Plymouth, Mass. History, lobster boats, cats, other dogs, traffic work - a full day!

@NEADSdogs Candy practices her sit/stay while she supervises the planting of a new tree, courtesy of @MHShornets Tree Plenish program. Candy’s very excited, because of course it’s a dogwood!

[Doug Grandin @DougGrandin]

Yeah, well, not impressed. @NEADSdogs

[Doug Grandin @DougGrandin]

One important part of a service dog’s training is listening and following instructions. Here, @NEADSdogs Candy gets her blocking assignment as she enjoys the @Patriots Hall of Fame.

[Doug Grandin @DougGrandin]

Happy to help @NEADSdogs service dog Candy work on her training. This doesn’t count as costume exposure, does it? Because it’s not a costume, right?

@NEADSdogs Heidi and Franklin visited the big metal dogs in Charlestown, MA today. Their favorite (of course) was Rescue. Subway and boat rides tired out these two, but lots of good practice for the future

[Doug Grandin @DougGrandin]

Heidi enjoyed Wickford,RI today, relaxing by the water and touring historic houses. Very hot, but she was thankful for all the stores’ water bowls. @NEADSdogs

[Doug Grandin @DougGrandin]

@NEADSdogs Heidi enjoyed a ride on the @quincymapolice boat in Boston harbor. Thanks also to Morgan of the @ScituatePolice. Heidi also learned about whales from @NOAA

[Doug Grandin @DougGrandin]

Heidi got to meet @Patriots newcomer @Danny_Shelton55 this weekend and told him about all the good things @NEADSdogs does. She also met two members of his wonderful dog family!

[Doug Grandin @DougGrandin]

Heidi visited The Memorial Day Flag Garden on Boston Common. She hopes one day she might help a service veteran or soldier @NEADSdogs #massmilitaryheroes

[Doug Grandin @DougGrandin]

A well deserved dip in the pool for @NEADSdogs Heidi.

[Doug Grandin @DougGrandin]

@NEADSdogs Service dog in training Heidi visited the @RISDMuseum today and learned that in ancient Egypt, dogs were worshiped as Gods. Hmmmm...

[Doug Grandin @DougGrandin]

@NEADSdogs in training Franklin and Heidi were inspired by meeting @rescueboston and his family today. They cant wait to make a life changing friendship with someone too!

[Doug Grandin @DougGrandin]

Sadly, Heidi realizes this was not the treat dispensing machine she had been dreaming of...@NEADSdogs

[Doug Grandin @DougGrandin]

Heidi wonders if the Ski Paw-trol needs assistance @NEADSdogs
