About Me


I was born in New Richmond Wisconsin on October 11, 2021, with four brothers and four sisters.    My mom is Ivy (Lauren's Lucky Ivy Sue) and Dad Gram (Elkcreek Hashtag No Filter).   My gotcha day with Levi, Katie, Mack, Ruby, and Walter Reese was on December 11th, 2021.   On December 16th Levi took me to the Hillsboro School Board Meeting and that day forever changed my world.  This was the day that the school board gave me the approval to come to school as a trial to be the school therapy dog/resident dog/animal-assisted educator and to be trained by the students in the Small Animal Care Class.  Below is a video that the students put together to update the board on my progress.    In the spring of 2022, the School approved making the program from a trial into a permanent program in the Ag Department.  In November of 2022 Levi and I passed the Pet Partners Therapy Team Test.
