Goodbye sweet girl!

Off to advanced training she goes! A photo of our (temporary) dog at Burnaby Mountain Park near Vancouver, BC, Canada

 

About this photo: This is a photo of our 19 month old (temporary) Labrador Retriever that we raised since she was 2 months old when we decided to become puppy raisers for the BC & Alberta Guide Dogs. It has been quite an amazing journey and challenging at times. But, I am happy to report that she was chosen to move on to advanced training. Once she passes that we hope she will be able to make a difference in someone's life!

 

She left us last week for her new adventure to become a PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) service dog. Apparently she did really well during the flight from Vancouver to Edmonton, she got to meet and play with another PTSD service dog and some other dogs. It sounds like she is already settling in her new environment.

 

I am happy to hear that she is adapting well, even if we are sad that she is no longer with us. I will get monthly reports while she is in advanced training which will take about 4 to 5 months. After that will she be placed with someone and they will continue training together for some time as well. I sure look forward to the first report!

 

This photo was taken on the last day she was with us. We gave her some extra cuddles and treats on that day. We sure miss her a lot, she was such a sweet and gentle dog!
