Well, justover 1 week to go for GEB training,
I was flying home from alabama today, I was there on business, and I reallized, I'm experiencing lotsa lasts with Chief, the last time he will fly with me, the last time he will go to a hotel with me, the last time he will do his part in the presentation we did today.
As I write this, I'm starting to really feel it, Being as over tired as i am, I'm in an emotional state already, and adding that on top of it makes it a chalenge. I worked today with one of my good friends who is also a coleague, and that's the last time he will see chief. Maybe this seems overdramatic to some of you, but it's my mindset right now.
As I write this Chief is in his back yard sniffing and releaving himself.And there will come a time that he won't be in the yard, but another young dog will be out there.
My days of easy living with a guide dog that I can trust are almost over. A new guide dog is like a 15 year old kid, you always have to watch that they don't get in to things that aren't good for them, with kids, especially mail ones, it's porn, or other nasty sites on the net. With a dog it's food, and anything else distracting, including other dogs. you have to be on your guard all the time, thinking to your self, where is his head, because where his head is his nose is sure to follow.
This seems harmless enough you might think, but it can lead to eating things that are unhealthy at best, and lethal at worst.
anyway, that's my rant about the young dog set.
I have two more days in the office, then 3 days in the field, then Chief's retirement party,
If chief has touched your life and you wish to come to his retirement party, call or e-mail me at rox0805@verizon.net, and I'll get you the address and pertenant details.
all are welcome.
That's it, signing off!
Angie
