This week we had to put down one of our old dogs down. Bizz was a 13 year old border collie who belonged to Jerri, owner of Southeast Border Collie Rescue, and then to Jan, friend of Jerri, for the past 3 years. She was full of life and very sweet. One morning Ej, manager of Border Collie Rescue, found Bizz laying on the ground, crawling (attempting to walk), and knew she needed to go to the vet hospital. After a visit with the vet, they found that Bizz suffered from a seizure in the middle of the night. They then chose to send her over the rainbow road.
Marco and I have been hard at work perfecting his skills. For the past 9 months this puppy has lived with me and we have grown together. He has taught me patience and persistence and I have taught him skills that he will use to help a very special person in need. This week, I have been told that Marco’s evaluation will be taking place soon. All of our hard work will be tested. I am both excited and saddened to see our time slowly end. I will make sure to cherish these last few months that I have with him. I will keep everyone updated in next week’s blog.
This week’s puppy story is from Pandy:
“When is it my turn? Let me out!!! I wanna go out! Don’t you walk away from me! I’m still in here! You forgot about me! Ok ok ok…I’ll be quiet. Don’t go! Yes! OK, let’s GO!!!! Come on, you are soooo slow. Ok, I’ m going to go this way…no this way…no this way. Abby! You are here…with me! I must jump on you!!!!! Ok, I won’t jump on you, geez. She is touchy… Wow, I am thirstyyy. This. Water. Is. The. Best. EVER. Ok, I’ll go back in. Yes, I am content…ah. NO, MY TURN! I’m hungry!”
