CLAIRE

This is our new little girl from a rescue group in Cincinnati.  She's part golden retriever and part who-know's-what!  Claire has a beautiful brindle coat with a white chest and paws and the sweetest disposition.  We've had her for a couple of weeks now and she's already put on about 7 lbs.!  After a look at her feet, the vet predicts an adult weight of 70 lbs.  We're working on some obedience commands at home, but I'm hoping to get her into former classes so that we can eventually qualify as a therapy team.  My goal is to be able to take Claire with me on hospital and home visits as well as other ministry opportunities that may arise.  Mark and I have both fallen head over heels in love her our Claire-Bear!
