Uma's greatest aspiration in life is to be just like her big sister, Isabel. Uma is a therapy dog in training, and with her effervescent energy and spirit, brings a precocious, playful element to the role of therapy dog. We like to say her very best skill is being cute - not just in her appearance, but also in her expressions. She really seems to listen and respond when you talk to her. Where Isabel will join you on the couch when you need a hug; Uma will exert curiosity by trying to sniff your face and tapping your arm for some affection. She is a toy enthusiast, and will bring you a variety of toys until she finds just the right one to get you to engage with her. She may initially greet you with some suspicion; but within a few minutes, she'll be bringing you a toy.
The newest addition to our Canine Division, is Ahsoka Tano Weatherstone, CGC. Initially named after the famed female Skywalker Padawan, Ahsoka is proving herself be imbued with the Force, much like her namesake.
In Sanskrit, Ahsoka means "no sorrow." We feel this added insight supports our belief that she was born to be a therapy dog. Currently in training at the Zoom Room (highly recommend, by the way, if you are in the market for high quality canine training), Ahsoka is now a full-time staff member like her sisters and looks forward to meeting you. Ahsoka is an AKC registered Canine Good Citizen, and is currently pursuing study in Advanced Obedience, Agility, and Canine Assisted Therapy.
Seen below reading up on Gaming Therapies, she is eager to learn all she can about being a very good therapy dog, with a specialty in therapeutic support and enrichment.
Isabel, founder of our Canine Division and otherwise known as "The Original Good Dog," was with Stephanie in practice from the moment she opened her private practice in 2012, and just recently retired in December 2025. Isabel was known to have a different greeting for each client, making it clear that she "knew" them, and knew their respective story. Isabel had a heart of gold and was infinitely compassionate with regard to human struggles. She was a rescue, (which by our estimation is clearly the best breed) and it was clear when we adopted her that her prior life had been wrought with mistreatment as evidenced by her initial meek demeanor and fear of furniture. We treated her as the treasure she was and we felt her gratitude and love every day.
She passed away in August of this year. We know she relished her life as co-therapist and wisdom influencer, and we believe she continues to look after us, as well as her sisters as they carry forward the torch of canine co-therapist. 💜
