We also sang around the bonfire each night as a couple women brought instruments. There were ~140 women from all over and it was fun to meet them. The coolest ever was a 'balance' service animal for one woman. 156 pound dane of some sort who was so attentive and capable.

Awww, my friend from Kenyon, Kristen, helps train Great Danes for this service. And she named one of the puppies after Emmett! So imagine Emmett as a gigantic black and white floppy eared Great Dane.

I can imagine that! Though an orangey brindle would be even more on point.

I didn't know that Great Danes did that - how cool!

My mother just told me that my aunt told her that my cousin got "very upset" that I had posted a picture on Facebook of us when we were little kids and tagged most of the people in the photo, and said "and David who doesn't want to be tagged," because he was in the photo and had said he didn't want to be tagged in photos. I posted that photo three years ago. I am so confused.

Someone wasn't paying attention three years ago, clearly.

sumi, this is where Emmett-the-Dog came from: [link]

Loving their instagram feed!

This was probably the most time I spent close to a service dog and he was just really impressive. He was donated to her, which is also wonderful.

"and David who doesn't want to be tagged," because he was in the photo and had said he didn't want to be tagged in photos. I posted that photo three years ago. I am so confused.

He can untag himself. (I know that you know that. If he doesn't, he needs to read Facebook's help section.)

I really have no idea if he's actually upset. Half the time, when my aunt says he's upset about something, if someone then mentions it to him, he has no idea what we're talking about.
