Clyde had his first of three evaluations for Therapy Dogs Incorporated this morning, and I am curious about a few things that maybe someone can answer for me.

1.) Are there any significant differences between Delta Society, TDI & TDInc? Are there other registries?

2.) Is one registry better than the other?

3.) Can you be registered with more than one or all three? Would there be reasoning for that?

I think those are all of the questions I have for now. I'm sure I'll come up with more.

BTW, Clyde did well this morning. We went to a middle school where we saw the mentally retarded children. The first classroom were "profoundly retarded", and I was somewhat anxious about this; Clyde has rare exposure to children in general, so kids in helmets that freak out and make sudden movements were a first. He did amazing! He enjoyed the heck out of the kids. The second classroom were more functional children. Clyde accidentally knocked two markers off of one child's desk, and she was very upset about it. That was the only major mishap. He was being awfully naughty with pulling the lead today. It's my fault, though, since I overslept and didn't walk him before we left. Next time we go is the 3rd Monday in May, and we're going to a nursing home... after a very long walk and some serious ball fetching! (We live by the motto "a tired dog is a good dog".)
