Hide and Seek with a Service Dog

When you have a service dog in your house sometimes little things make you realize how different life in your family can be.

Last night for example the kids were all playing hide and seek and having fun. Well suddenly I heard Ellie, call Ava then heard, "Ava find Jairon." Ellie then proceeded to use Ava to find the rest of her brothers she was unable to find.

Next round, Zach followed and used Ava again to find his well hidden and missing siblings. This same pattern continued on for quite a while as a very happy Ava followed each child and helped to find those that were hidden for the hide and seek game. When you add a service dog that LOVES finding kids scattered and hidden throughout the house, hiding becomes quite the challenge.

Yes, I just sat back giggling as the kids and puppy dog played hide and seek with each other.
