Okay, time runs short. There is a huge pile of stuff to take that is stacked on a full-sized bed in the guest room. We're waiting to see how we fit it all in the van. Sean has skills day for baseball tomorrow morning (www.tomjonesleague.org). Then, it is home to complete preparations over the next couple of days (laundry, shopping, packing, etc.) before we leave. We keep showing Sean pictures of Mojo, trying to get him ready to meet his dog.

The stars are falling into place. We have a very active support network at home. His aide from school just got an additional day to spend at training - a great thing since she will be primary handler while he is at school. 4Paws friends are coming in to help. Grandma is coming out to spend time. Mom and Dad should be able to focus on training (with Sean, of course).

Time is tight, but we know that the effort is worth it. These are great days. The end justifies any effort that we are expending - and any short tempers that may result. Sleep will come in its own time.
