Adolescent Self Injury Foundation - ASIF-Help Stop Cutting

04/12/2017

Hi! I'm Cozmo. As the "Top Therapy Dog" for Adolescent Self Injury Foundation (ASIF)
[www.adolescentselfinjuryfoundation.org]
I work "like a dog" in my efforts to help teens recover from self-harm. But, I also have another passion. Can you guess what that is?

Cozmo is Panda's BIG BROTHER and has now taught him how to be a therapy dog.
FYI -since Cozmo is also a fetch frisbee dog, Panda has learned that talent too!

Just returned from another afternoon of playing kangaroo frisbee. I am getting so good at this that I am considering training for the next oylmpics. BTW, more snow called for our area tomorrow. YEAH! Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!

I am excited to return to my more meaningful job as therapy dog. I want young people to learn to value themselves in the same way as they value me. In my own small way, barking to connect is helping! (Even though I try to not bark while I'm at work, but sometimes I can't help myself!) It's all about the connection. The energy in the room to make positve changes is felt by all. Gotta go eat some dinner.

Well, what a week!! I have discovered a new snow sport that I call "kangaroo frisbee." Even though 30 inches of snow is much taller than I am, I play kangaroo and just hop. Throw me that frisbee, any time, any where, and I'll get it. I realize that "playing frisbee" should be added as another positive distraction to the list of "146 Things To Do INSTEAD of Self Injury."

Cozmo loves going to the woods to chase squirrels and run along the trails when he is not working.
