In less than 24 hours, we will be in the car, taking Dozer to his "granny" Jocey (she raised his Dad, Finley) where he will stay for 2 weeks and then he will transfer to Holly who will complete his training before he goes up for his IFT and hopefully guide college in the summer. Dozer came to us at 4 1/2 months old and 30 pounds and leaves at 11 mos and 60 lbs. He is smart, learns quickly, can be a pain, and is mainly a great joy! I have shared some of his time with us with you all -- from just today in front of the Christmas tree to all the way back to his first week with us -- and you all have been very kind to be so interested. He loves the outdoors -- running and being in the sun -- but also loves the fire. His favorite game seems to be "solo blanket war". He can be a clown and a dofus at times and make me laugh. He loved to think he was going to get through that gate to the cats. He has been on some great outings with other pups and I think we have made a good start. I know Holly will be able to take him up a step because she is more experienced than I and that will be wonderful for him. I think he has great potential and it is my heart felt desire to see him matched with a visually impaired person at his graduation and leading a life of purpose. It is a little sad to let go, but I always knew this day would come (even if it is a little sooner than I thought). All the best to my boyo!!! And thanks for following his journey.
