My guide dog, Dolly, is delightful, dexterous, durable, devoted, darling, dynamic, demure, dear and knows how to play Duck, Duck, Goose. She is an Australian Shepherd, and her coat description is Blue Merle which is the combination of black, white, gray and brown. I got Dolly 5 1/2 years ago at Southeastern Guide Dogs (guidedogs.org) in Palmetto, FL. What a truly awesome experience that was! I spent the month, well almost the entire month, of August 2004 in training with her. The hurricanes were so numerous and nasty, we were sent home early. Anyway, Dolly knew over 40 commands so I had a lot to learn! In addition we celebrated her 2 yo birthday together down there. How about that for a brilliant dog! I could go on and on and on about Dolly..........just ask me a question, any question. She is one of the absolute best things in my life!
Alright, now it's not fair to make your blog followers cry. Dolly is beautiful and I'm sure you both have beautiful souls and that's why you found each other...
ReplyDeleteDitto, on what Gabs says..... London, you and Dolly are sooo inspirational to me..
ReplyDeletehave a great week
Tears of joy, my followers, tears of joy!
ReplyDeleteOK. So now I know I'm not totally crazy! I thought to myself, why are you crying at such a happy story? Then I see I was not the only one! I feel you love for you dog is just as "huge a love" as I have for my girls. OK, so that's why I cried!! It makes my heart smile to hear another person tell their story and share the love they have for their pet. My girls mean so much to me! I must stop! I could go on and on! Thank you for sharing this story with us!! Hugs for Dolly! Gorgeous girl!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!!

I understand really well how it is to love our animal companions. I have 3 dogs and a cat. My husband and I adore our animals and they adore us. Dolly is very lucky to have you. She was a cute pup and grew up to be a strong and beautiful doggie. I am sure she adores you. You are both very lucky.
