I would like to start by thanking everyone who has been involved in Gibson's life and has helped bring him to me.  I was very honored to have met the people that had Gibson before he came to Canine Helpers, and meet the very special husband whose wife was supposed to get Gibson.  The staff at Canine Helpers is just awesome to work with, and a BIG special THANK YOU to Beverly for starting this business to make dreams come true for so many people.

     Gibson has adjusted very well.  We find somewhere to go every day.  He loves it when my nurses come; he knows he is going to get attention from them.  All the people that have met Gibson have fallen in love with him.  He is just so loveable, and handsome!  He has made my life expand so much since I got him home with me.  We go to church Sunday mornings, go to dinners Wednesday nights and go to my aunt's house where Gibson can run in her yard.

     This past week my legs have been swollen, which normally would confine me to a wheelchair since I am unable to get into my leg braces.  I would normally be petrified of falling and not being able to get help, or dropping something of importance and not being able to pick it up.  But thanks to Gibson, I am walking and still doing things that need to be done.

     It seems so awesome to go to bed at night and not worry about having to go somewhere the next day by myself.  Now I go to bed knowing I will be okay when I go out.  Gibson reassured me of this Christmas night when I was outside and lost my balance.  Gibson darted to my side and snuggled into me so I kept my balance and did not fall.  By helping me, however, Gibson fell, landed in a bush, struggled to get up on all fours, and walked very cautiously as we approached the door.

     Gibson means more to me than my words can ever express.  I would like to THANK ALL the people who have walked this path with me and continue to do so.  God Bless!
