A beautiful video from DogWatch of Montana demonstrates the effectiveness of a hidden or “invisible” fence. Even with dozens of deer very close by, the DogWatch Hidden Fence is preventing this young Lab from chasing after them.
Have you every heard of Challenge Day? It is a day long workshop for high school student to help teach acceptance, compassion and kindness.
Pat and I (Emily) had the opportunity to be two of the twenty five adults invited to participate in Challenge Day. It was one of the most incredible (albeit draining) experiences of our lives. We laughed and cried (and cried and cried and cried) with the students and learned about lives that are so much different than ours and in some cases, not so very different at all. We all learned there is more to people than what they show us and that we need to have compassion, understanding and respect for every single person we come in contact with.
We highly encourage any student or adult that has the opportunity to participate in a Challenge Day to sign up immediately. It was most definitely a life changing day not only for us, but for every kid and adult in attendance and for our community as a whole. We truly feel the impact that Challenge Day had on all of us will ripple through and touch so many people in all of our daily lives.
