Hello Friends!
I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve written to you. Sorry for the missed updates! I’ve been doing well and living a nicely balanced life with a part-time work schedule (many are jealous). I still go to work with mom 2-3 days a week and my absolute favorite is our CAC day on Wednesdays! It’s great when I have a special request and get to go to the CAC another day, too! I lay near mom when we work from home and get extra time outside, which is great until I get in trouble for rolling in mud (picture below). There’s a new cat in my house, which is kind of weird, but I tolerate her and sometimes we play! Oh, I almost forgot … I passed my ADI recertification test recently!! The examiner noticed that I’m hesitating to jump into the car and commented about my age. I didn’t like that comment at all, so I’ll try to hide my age better during next testing cycle. Mom said that we have some Reading with Heiress dates on the calendar and I’m looking forward to April events (as long as Mom doesn’t make me pose for too many pictures with a pinwheel in my mouth). Hope to see you soon! Thanks for all your support you provide to me and my mom!!
Heiress
Anyone who is familiar with the CAC knows that Heiress gives the children a great sense of comfort and helps in their healing from the trauma they've suffered from abuse. Thanks to the generosity of donors, we've purchased a mini version of Heiress for them to take home. These are already a huge hit and puts a big smile on their faces!

Kristen Dunn, Heiress' handler, provides information of her and Heiress' roles at the CAC. Heiress is a very important member of the CAC team in supporting the children and families who experience abuse.
