| A note from the breeder (Colorado Jacks)... The day that Cathy and Steve Vito came to my house to pick out their puppy, after visiting with them for several hours, I knew in my heart that their puppy was going to have the most loving and caring home there ever could be and boy was I right!!!! Steve is a Denist in Vail Colorado and Cathy is right by his side....They don't have any children, so Gracie and the two kitties are their children. They have had the love of each other and the love of Gracie to make this happen!!!! Cathy and Gracie will now be able to visit the sick children and adults in many facilities to bring them a little love and happiness. (I wished there were more people in this world like Steve and Cathy!) I send all my love and prayers to the Vito family as they travel on this journey. I know together, along with Gracie, they will make this world a better place! A note from Cathy and Steve....I'd like to introduce you to Gracie JellyBean Vito. She's the daughter of Tobie and Jackie of Colorado Jacks. Gracie is 1 1/2 years old now and has had extensive training to become a Therapy dog. She started as a pup with basics like sit and stay. With much determination she has become a Registered Delta Society Therapy Dog. Together Gracie and I (Cathy her Mom) have the official title of Vail Valley Pet Partners. Delta Society is a nonprofit organization of pet owners, volunteers, therapists, educators, veterinarians and other health professionals. Their goal is to improve human health through service and therapy animals. It's been known that animals heal and now it's proven everyday. Gracie and I have completed all the comprehensive training and qualifications required to become Pet Partners and are looking forward to helping and healing. We will be making hospital visits at Vail Valley Medical Center. We are also interested in working in the schools with the reading programs for the kids and working with elderly people to brighten their days. Gracie is the sweetest and happiest little dog and can only bring smiles to people at a time in their lives when they may really need it. She's quite an athlete and loves to run and ski and do just about any outdoor activity with us. We haven't found a sport yet that she can't do. This just goes to show you that a Jack Russell Terrier can and will do "Whatever they want to." She's the light of our lives and we are very proud of her. Thanks to "Momma Vicki" for hand feeding her the first week of her life. I'm sure that's what created her human-animal bond so strongly. Thanks Vicki for allowing us to become her parents and to have the wonderful opportunity to help others with her at our side. Anyone interested in becoming a Pet Partner or learning about Delta Society please visit their website at www.deltasociety.org Thanks again Vicki for such a wonderful companion; we love her to pieces.
