Autism Dog Services Graduation 2018

I was involved with the planning of this year's Grad ceremony. 15 teams graduated over the last year and a half so we gathered to celebrate this occasion.

One of my roles was to make the "doggie" bags for the Grads. These were TRUE doggie bags and included a toy from Piper's Pillows, poop bags, Eukanuba treats, a gift certificate to Ren's Pet Foods and a doggie water bottle for hiking.

I used my Silhouette for the first time in a long while to make the pawprints and personalize each bag...
We also gave small gifts to the puppy raisers, breeders and sitters.
It was nice to see all the families with their dogs who are now very clearly loved already...
So many beautiful dogs... Retrievers, Labs and Poodles...

Lots of yellows in this group...
We had a lovely potluck lunch with pizza and of course, cake and cookies..
It's always great to see the results of the fundraising efforts and hear the difference these dogs can make..
