All I have to say to Ailyn is "Do you know what day it is?" She will sign "dog" knowing that it's Yuba day. One day a week we have PT with Yuba the therapy dog at the local children's hospital.
Ailyn has so much love for Yuba. Yuba is so good with her. Yuba makes PT a little easier for Ailyn. While Rejani stretches Ailyn, Yuba is right there. Stretching is painful but having Yuba right there to pet keeps he mind off it.
After stretching, it's time to walk. Yuba will go about 20 feet in front of Ailyn. Ailyn then walks the whole way on her own.
At the end of each walk, Ailyn gets to pick which cone she thinks a ball is under. Then Yuba knocks over the cone. Ailyn's favorite part of this game is to clean up the cones.
She stops to give Yuba hugs and kisses.
Their new favorite game is tug of war. Ailyn really can hold her own! This is great for core strength and balance.
Yuba has brought so much support and happiness to us. I hope one day Cash can be there for Ailyn, until then we will look forward to our Yuba days!!
