Borias the Celebrity

We're getting famous! Ha...that's what some others are telling us, anyway. Recently Borias and I have been getting some press, with an article in Ranch and Coast magazine, Uptown News, and soon, going international with a Japanese dog magazine. 


The Ranch and Coast article is out now, and can be found at some markets in coastal North County. The online version of the article is here: http://www.ranchandcoast.com/FOCUS/18/FAMILY/915/HEART-DOG-STUDIOS/
I think the writer, Mia Stefanko did a tremendous job! I'm so flattered. Glad Borias can't read. He'd get an even bigger head ha ha. 

Uptown News will be out on the 3rd, and it's under Tails of the City. Can't wait to see it! That one is more about the painting collaboration. Then the Japanese article is about large dogs, in a Retriever magazine. We did an in-depth interview today, and they took a ton of pictures. I think this will be a really cool article, with the questions asked. I talked a lot about how Borias helps me as an Assistance dog, and how I trained him using positive methods. 

In Japan, they're not very modern thinking with regards to people with disabilities. So it will be helpful for this to talk about how a Service dog can give such independence to a person who's disabled. There are Service dogs there, they said, but it's not very accepted, not like it is here. Most people have very tiny dogs, as well. 

Only problem is, I won't be able to read this article! Maybe I can get a translation somehow. Very eager to see how it turns out, and what the feedback is. 

My Borias is such a rock star ; )

CONGRATS on the recognition! Of course, all of us know he's a rock star - but we know we are rock stars, too, just because we are loved so much☺

Keep up the good work. Be sure to direct us over to the spots in the Universe where the two of you are mentioned☺
