Janelle Payne of Meridian and her new Positive Partner dog Wyatt enjoyed the Expressions in the Garden in Hailey from the sidelines on Sunday. Payne, her husband and her three children, the youngest of whom is an infant, were in Hailey to officially take possession of Wyatt. Payne suffers from cerebral palsy. Fran Jewell of Positive Partners Assistance Dogs trained the lab and Payne had been working with him for many months. They attended the Expressions In the Garden, which was held to benefit Positive Partners Assistance Dogs. The artists who showed their work included Gay Bawa Odmark, Jennifer Galpin-Mikesh, Margery Freidlander, Fran Jewell, Annie May and Esperanza Grundy.
