So I should probably keep this a little hush, but I'm so excited I just have to tell. Plus I figure there aren't too many south fl people on here and the ones that are here are trustworthy

So Frankie and I are going to participate in one of these in Sept. with the therapy dog agency we are with. We are doing it at a mutts and martinis event to support the humane society. Since quite a few of the TDs are rescues we are doing the routine to ABBA's Take a Chance on Me and the rescue dogs will wear signs that read "someone took a chance on me" along with their TD vest. The routine is simple so anyone at the event can feel free to join in once they see it once or twice.
We had our first practice tonight and Frankie nailed the whole routine pretty quickly! He was one of the first dogs to get it. Such a proud mama. I am so amazed that the dog who once spit treats out when he didn't want to listen, will do anything for a treat now, lol. I just hope he can keep it up and transfer it to the actual event site which may be very over stimulating.

Any South Fl. peeps with well socialized dogs are welcome to join us (Kristina, Melissa)

I will definitely be posting the video when we get it.

omg that's awesome!!!! Frankie will do great and he'll be one of the most handsome stars there! Send me the info once you have it and I'll definitely try to make it out with Kody!!!

TEAMMMMMMMM FRANKIE! LOL

That sounds so fun! Definitely try to get someone to videotape.

ohmygosh that sounds so cute! i can't wait to see the video of it!

Here is a video of our practice tonight. It's the first time we practiced outside. Next week is dress rehersal at the actual site. Frankie had his moments. But all in all he had a pretty good session. It was hot, humid, and sticky out...yuck, so ignore the mop on my head, lol

aww he did a great job

Aw, he did great!

Today is the day!!! Wish us luck. Frankie has the routine down pat (knows it better than me, lol) However at the last practice he really showed his a$$ so hopefully tonight he will be on his best behavior.

All you South Fl. peeps come on out to the mutts and martinis event at the Downtowner Saloon in fort lauderdale. 5:30- 8:30, Flash mob @ 7 promptly. Hope to see you there.

Will post video as soon as I get it.

Ohhh man it's tonight?! No way I'd make to FLL by 7pm on weekday

Good luck Frankie!!!!! We'll cheering you on from home! Can't wait to see the video!!!

Sorry you couldn't make it Mel.

So we had a blast at the mutts and martinis event. And the flash mob performance went on almost as planned. It was hot, humid, and it rained and thundered. We also were not given the amount of space that we had planned for so it was a little more cramped than expected. It started off a little choppy, but it came together in the end.
However, Frankie did AWESOME!! Not only was he very well behaved through the whole event, he nailed the routine and made me one very proud mama.

Enjoy........

LOL. That lady was pretty funny. At the time I was a little annoyed since she was right in front of me the whole time. I wish they didn't focus on her as much as they did. I just wish they focused a little more on the rescues since that is why we did this. But all in all it was a good time. I know a lot of other random people had their video cameras out so I'm waiting for some other videos to pop up. Hopefully I find one that has some good shots of Frankie so we could share it with husky rescue for them to use too.

Actually I felt it would have been better with a real dog and a invisible lady(?). Found her quite annoying with her always looking out for the camera. She succeeded with her mission I hope your therapy group succeeded with yours.

awww! Frankie did awesome!

Congrats, awesome job! Frankie has such great focus, which is even more impressive since I've read your stories about his early days! Take a chance on me, indeed!!!

And I loved seeing his cute husky tail bobbing up and down amongst all the other pups!

Agreed! I hope we succeeded in our mission as well. It was to show how rescues CAN be good dogs and even become therapy dogs.

Hollywood- Thanks, His focus was GREAT that night. I am still amazed at how much better he is. He still has his moments, but hey he is a husky. He will do just about anything for a treat now when in the beginning he would spit them out at me, lol. Sometimes I think he is the perfect example for our goal at this event to "take a chance on me". Other times I just want to rip my hair out

Very cool! I wish I could witness something like that one day! You guys did great, couldn't keep my eyes off the gorgeous Frankie. Gosh I'm so impressed with how good he was! My sibe would have to be doped up on Benadryl to behave that well. Very impressive how far you've come with him!

i hope you can find more video with you to and not that lady trying to show off! you 2 did a great job!

That's awesome!

I have to agree with Len, that lady was annoying in my opinion and sort of takes away from the purpose. Frankie did awesome, you must be so proud of him! I have to comment though that it's sort of funny most of the dogs did not want to shake and had to have their paw picked up lmao.

wow thats awesome!
u all lookd gr8
