Monday last week we had to say goodbye to the 14 month old Labrador/Golden Retriever cross that we have been puppy parenting since he was seven weeks old for Canine Partners as we took him off to "Big School" for assessment to see if he is good enough to progress to advanced training and eventual partnering with a disabled person, usually a wheelchair user. |

I can only imagine how hard it was to say "Goodbye " to your puppy, but what a wonderful start you will have given in a family setting before he moves on to further training to enrich someone's life. |

Most of the credit for the training part is due to my OH. She has worked hard on decent walking, the commands, and so on. |

Having had a dumped pup walk into our house almost 2 years ago I know how hard it is to give them up (she's still here :-D). I know it must hurt to let them go but you must have great pride in the job you do and the knowledge that someone is going to have a new life because of their new dog. |

She slept right through last night so tonight might just try setting up a baby alarm to hear if she wakes up. |

Brian, that's interesting, your not being able to take Bianca in a taxi, due to cultural/religious grounds. |

I remember a TV programme some time back where a blind Muslim boy was offered a Guide Dog. After a lot of discussion it was allowed, and the boy was thrilled and took to having a dog with no problem. His mother was very wary to start with, but came round in the end. |
