Logan's Graduation at My Wonderful Dog and your invited

Tarameg's Angel Bymyside "Logan"

To those of you in the local Portland doggie community, Suzan Morris and Logan are a familiar sight. I met Suzan well before her pup was even born, manning booths, raising awareness, and fundraising for My Wonderful Dog. Suzan raised the money herself for a service dog to help with her Multiple Sclerosis.

Last year's successful fund raising freestyle training clinic with Carolyn Scott, was all Suzan's doing, and I don't think I could count how many times I have seen her working tirelessly to support My Wonderful Dog. Suzan is always quick to chime in with encouraging words both in person and on this blog, and honestly she is one of the loveliest people I know. Logan is sugar and spice and everything nice with brains and beauty to boot.
Seeing the two of them working as partners at the Dog Days event last weekend, made my heart swell.

Join My Wonderful Dog this Sunday September 30th from 1-3 and see Suzan Morris and Logan graduate! There will be service demo's, food and fun.

The final pairing of a service dog with their human partner is a culmination of 2 years of hard work. As it says on the website. BYOK-bring your own Kleenex.

Suzan knows that I am sorry that I can't attend due to a scheduling conflict with Camp Buster this weekend, but that if I could I would have brought a whole box of tissues to share.

Visit Logan's blog, web site and fundraising page. They are still a few hundred dollars short of their $5,000 goal.

We know Suzan and Logan through a forum we enjoy and have met Suzan and Logan in person.
As you indicate there is not a more wonderful person in the world and the love between Suzan and Logan is something that words cannot express.
We love you Suzan and Logan and are so proud of not only your graduation but for all the wonderful work you do to raise awareness.

Congratulations! I have a service dog, too, and they are most wonderful! Enjoy your new relationship and freedom!!!

Also, could somebody post where that scooter in the photo can be found? I have a friend with MS and that looks like a nice, small-sized scooter, which would be great for her (once she can afford such a thing).

Suzan and Logan, I will have you both in my thoughts today. Having met Suzan at Goldstock a month ago now, I can vouch for what a gentle, kind, sweet natured, and quick witted person she is! As for Logan, well, she has the softest, sweetest little face you just can't resist.
Combined they are a wonderful team!
Congratulations on this special day from your Down Under friend, Lily!!!

I have known Suzan and Logan for several years through a Golden Retriever forum. Even though we have never met in person, I consider her a close friend. I wish them all the best at graduation tomorrow. I know they have a truly special partnership.

Thank you Nancy and all my forum friends! I'm at a loss for words which hopefully won't happen tomorrow at the graduation! :)
