Fritiof shared with us his prior week activities, which included attending a CUB game and although they lost, he had a great time.   attended cheese days,  and spoke to the Kiwanis club in Sterling. 
Program - 
Ron Potthoff introduced Tekla Martin of the Sterling Police Dept. and comfort dog, Brinkley.   Tekla explained that when the K-9 dog retired, the dept. decided to replace him with Brinkley.   Brinkley attends community events, provides comfort to  youth and adults involved in traumatic events, and goes regularly to April House to support the children.   Brinkley came from a highly regarded trainer in Kalamazoo, MI.   After learning how Brinkley was to be utilized the trainer began  looking for pups with behavioural characteristics that would make a good comfort dog.  Brinkley was one of a litter of  10 pups and exhibited calm and comforting traits.   The trainer thought she would be perfect for her role with SPD and that has proven too be accurate. Everyone had an opportunity to pet Brinkley which she loved.   Thanks Tekla!
