We&#8217;ve had a busy week so today is a recovery day. I&#8217;m cancelling what I can, he&#8217;s asleep now near my desk, and we&#8217;re enjoying a gorgeous New England fall day. It doesn&#8217;t seem difficult for Rudy to switch gears. If I said:  &#8220;Do you want to go to work?&#8221; he&#8217;d jump up, run to the back door and be ready to get in the car. Or, if I say nothing, he sleeps, his feet slightly twitching as he dreams of chasing an animal he will never catch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s part of the magic of partnering with a dog or another animal. They have so much to teach us if we take the time, listen, and observe. And often, if I slow down, he makes me laugh. Rudy has a thing for pillows, so any chance he gets he gathers them up on the bed or couch and builds a nest. Then he plops down on top of them. If you&#8217;re having a bad day, give it a try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jeanbaur.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3877.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/jeanbaur.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3877.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jeanbaur.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3877.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/jeanbaur.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3877-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rudy, my therapy dog, has been working for the past eight years&#8211;since he was certified at age one.
