🌟🐾 TODAY, OUR GIRL LUNA DID IT! 🐾🌟

Today is a day that me and Jess will never forget ❤️

After all the training, hard work, patience, challenges, tears, little victories and countless hours of believing in this amazing girl… Luna has officially passed BOTH her Therapy Assessment AND her Assistance Dog Assessment, including her temperament assessments! 🥹🐶💜

And what an assessment it was!

Over 3 hours, Luna was put through so many different situations to see how she coped, behaved and responded.

We took her down busy Harborne High Street, into cafés, book shops, charity shops, restaurants where she had to remain calm while meeting and greeting people. We visited Warley Woods, completed meet and greets with selected dogs and put her through a whole range of different environments and situations.

She also completed assessments within our own home, showing that the skills she has learned aren't just something she can switch on for a few minutes, they are becoming part of who she is 🥹

And Luna was simply AMAZING❤️

She took everything in her stride. She listened, she worked, she stayed focused and she showed exactly why we have put so much time, love and dedication into her training.

And today also marks something incredibly special for Therapeutic Animal Assisted Care…

🐾💜 We can officially say that Therapeutic Animal Assisted Care now has a qualified Therapy AND Assistance Dog, Luna 💜🐾

For us, this isn't just about passing an assessment or receiving a qualification.

It's about what Luna will be able to bring to people. The comfort, connection, reassurance and support that she can provide, and the difference her presence can make 🥹

From the tiny puppy who first came into our lives to the incredible girl standing beside us today… look how far you've come, Luna. 🌙🐾

Me and Jess honestly couldn't be more proud of you 🥹❤️

To everyone who has supported us, encouraged us, watched Luna's journey and believed in what we're trying to achieve, thank you. It means more than you know.

This is only another chapter in Luna's journey…

But it's a very, very special one 💜

🌙🐾 Well done, Luna. You absolutely smashed it. We are so incredibly proud of you and us 🐾🌙

😂🐾 WHO WANTS TO SEE JESS LOOK LIKE A COMPLETE IDIOT?! 🐾😂

Jess has VERY bravely agreed to take on a 20 MILE DOG WALK… IN FANCY DRESS! 🤣🎭🐕

Why? Because we’re trying to raise money to help get Therapawtic Animal Assisted Care off the ground and help us create something that can make a real difference to others ❤️🐾

But let's be honest… the real reason to donate is to see Jessica Silvester suffer in fancy dress for 20 miles! 😂

🎯 Our first milestone is £100!
If you want to see Jess walking the dogs for 20 MILES dressed like an absolute muppet, help us get to £100! 🤣

Every donation gets us closer… and gets Jess one step closer to regretting agreeing to this! 😂😂

The money we raise will help towards training, wellbeing sessions, equipment, insurance, resources and setting up activities and sessions so that we can start building something really special 💚

LET'S GET TO £100 AND MAKE THIS HAPPEN! 🐾

🥹❤️ She’s missing her little human 🐾

Today was Remy’s first day back at school, and I think Luna has noticed more than we realise 💔

Luna picked up Remy’s coat, carried it over to the front door and then just stood there looking at me 🥺

It honestly melts my heart watching the bond these two have. Luna isn’t just Remy’s dog… she really is her little shadow, her protector and her best friend 🐶👧🏼

I think someone is counting down the minutes until her little human walks through that door again ❤️

Not long now, Luna… Remy will be home soon🥹🐾

Tonight feels like a little reminder of just how much our roles can change 🥹🐾❤️

Luna spends so much of her life watching over us, protecting us, comforting us and being there when we needs her most. She always seems to know when someone needs a little extra reassurance or a cuddle.

But tonight, the thunder has made our brave girl feel a little scared ⛈️🐶 So now it's my turn to be there for her, to hold her close and remind her that she's safe.

You spend your life protecting us, Luna… but tonight, it's our turn to protect you. 🥹🐾

No matter how big and brave our dogs are, sometimes they need their humans too.!!
