I got an update on Elphaba! She is from Lucky & Azena's 2024 litter. Actually from the same litter as our current stud, Sampson. She passed her Good Citizenship certification. This is what she was specifically trained for, from her "mom":
"She was trained to paw when my HR is 100bpm or higher. She double paws when it’s super high & will even get on top of me to do Deep Pressure Therapy if it’s been a while and won’t go down, telling me to relax or sit down because “it’s serious”. Tuesday I was at Pipers band concert & was super hot & dizzy & she decided she couldn’t do it all so she nudged my dad (who was sitting next to me) to tell him to keep an eye on me & help me relax too."
Seems like Elphaba has gone over and above what she was originally trained to do. 'Atta girl Elphaba! Keep up the great work!
