Goodbye..........

Well today Skye left us to continue her journey to becoming an autism assistance dog. She's in advanced training now. We all miss her so much, and it is really empty without her around the place. No more of Skye's happy face and ever wagging tail. Or her affectionate licks! I really miss everything about her.

Whilst we would love it if she could have stayed with us forever, we always knew she was going to have to leave someday, but it seems so far off in the future you don't really worry about it too much. Then one day reality hits and they go and because they become one of the family it makes it very hard. And then the other dogs don't even understand why they have to go. 

The way I think of it is though; I'd have rather had Skye for a year, and had to let her go, than to have never of met her or had that special year with her. Giving the puppies up is what puts lots of people off becoming puppy walkers and for me it's worth it because of that fun filled year you are lucky enough to spend with them. 

Good bye & Good Luck Skye x

P.S. Photos are of her final walks to some of her favourite places!

I am in floods of tears Anna. You are so brave and did a fantastic job with her. I am going to face the same situation when our gorgeous puppy Vegas goes in the next few months to become a well trained assistance dog.

Thank you for that! The house is very empty without Skye around! I keep looking for her and realizing she's gone. Our new AADI puppy, Bramble is keeping us busy though and hopefully one day she'll be as good as Skye too. Good luck with Vegas! Anna
