Welcome to Ryan and Sky's Blog!

Welcome to our blog. This blog was setup to follow our son's, Ryan, journey to receiving a service dog.



Ryan is 10 years old and has cerebral palsy which makes his leg muscles very tight and difficult to walk. He uses forearm crutches for short distances and an electric wheelchair for longer distances.



Tasks that are easy for a typical child such as opening a door or picking up an item off the floor can be very difficult for Ryan.



We applied for a service dog for Ryan in April 2008. He was partnered with a female black lab named Sky in August of 2011.



Please join us in our journey with Ryan and Sky!

Working With Sky

This is Ryan. I want to share a little about how it has been to work with Sky over the past two days. Working with Sky has been a blast! It's amazing to see what she can do compared to regular house pets like Kasey or Brandy. Yesterday I got to hear her bark for the first time! It was really cool to see Sky put her abilities to use in a real-life situation for the first time picking up a ticket for me! Also, she once tried to give me one of my crutches! It's been really great working with Sky. I can't wait to see what day three holds! Oh, why on Earth does mom have like a whole section about the bathroom? Who does that!?
