Mr. Pibb






Dustin and his dog, Osaka, Sarah Holbert, Josie, Pibb and Sylvia


Sarah Holbert, CEO of Cares Inc.

What an exciting day for Josie. She has had a ball with the new adventure with a dog. We were going to name him Wyatt, but his given name is Pibb after the soda. His whole liter was named after soda...Fresca, Sprite, Mugs, Shasta, etc. Pibb really does fit him. We are still weighing all the options. I am just excited to know that this will work, if not now soon. Sarah Holbert from Cares Inc has been so incredible with us and actually a couple other families at the center. It is remarkable that a dog can give so much assistance to someone.

My parents landed tonight and we are overjoyed that they are here. Josie and I met them at the airport with Pibb. It was our first independent outing. He was great...I still have everything to learn. Mr. Pibb and Sarah will return to Kansas after therapy tomorrow. If we keep him, he will undergo concentrated training to meet Josie's current needs.

Please keep the MacLeod family in your prayers and thoughts. Our very sweet Rachel's dad is having a really difficult fight with cancer. We are thinking of you dear Raych and your family.

My best to all, Jenny, Josie and Mr. Pibb
