Riddick, New Hearing Aids and Disney!

Hey everyone sorry for the delay again. Life has been rather busy lately. Alex and I began fostering a wonderful 3 and 1/2 month old lab border collie mix named Riddick. Riddick is in training to become a hearing dog! He's a wonderful energetic puppy and boy is he smart. There's a lot to tell about Riddick so that will be a post all to itself and will hopefully include plenty of pictures.

In other news we decided to buy the more expensive hearing aids. I tried the lower priced aids but I got no benefits from there.  We'll be picking up the new ones this week so I'm hopeful it will go well. I've used a demo version of the nicer hearing aids before, during Christmas. They work quite well for me but even with a hearing aid there are still sounds I can't hear which is why we're using Riddick.

Finally, I am proud to announce that I was accepted into the Disney College Program! Alex was also accepted into the DCP. We both start working on May 21st and will work until Jan 3rd. More details will be following. Hope everyone is doing well!
