The Award?? It is a pretty darn cool one as well, something I am very proud of personally for as well as proud of the other organizations and folks involved. I really do hope that you will take the 20 minutes to listen to the interview! What you read below will make more sense if you do.
I am thrilled to share that the event that I planned around the Governorial Proclamation declaring August 8-14, 2010 Assistance Dog Week in Nebraska won the National Assistance Dog Contest for Best Event!! Check it out!
Here is the proclamation! That Governor Heineman signed. Here MOST of us are in these pictures!! Some were camera shy!
We are all motivated to create change in Nebraska! Here is the first attempt at it…
Sadly the first attempt did not pass, but we are going for it again and even more comprehensively this year! Thanks to Nebraska State Senator Kate Sullivan! Contact her here!

I would like to send a Big Thank You to Marcie advocate and Working Like Dogs Radio Host for being such a strong proponent in creating awareness for those of us who utilize the services of Assistance Dogs!
National Assistance Dog Week was established due to the efforts of Marcie Davis, a paraplegic for over 35 years and CEO of Davis Innovations, a consulting firm based in Santa Fe, NM. Davis is the author of Working Like Dogs: The Service Dog Guidebook, and she is the host of the Internet radio program, Working Like Dogs, at www.petliferadio.com. As a member of a service dog team, she founded Working Like Dogs to honor assistance dogs around the world and is sponsoring National Assistance Dog Week.

I am so very honored to have received this award. There were so many deserving groups that created awareness across our great country. Please go to this link to see what they did as well!
Before I go, I wanted to share one more link with you. If you have an Assistance/Service Dog I would encourage you to do something next year to create awareness in your state. If there is something going on, get involved! Here is where you can start!
Blessings from a grateful heart and four grateful paws,
