I'm Back!!

I am back and totally missing my boy. My room is so boring and lonely without him. :) I keep looking down at his bed and there is no sleeping, black lump. I keep waiting for him to come poke me to let him out or show me the toy he wants to chew on. I keep reaching down to give him a pat and he is not there. All day I kept giving people commands and talking to "phantom dogs" when I was out. I got a lot of weird looks when I left a gas station and said, "Lets go" and "good boy" (I am pretty sure the cashier lady thought I was talking to her) It is weird being puppyless, I have not, not had a dog with me in over two years. And I DON'T LIKE IT!! Not one bit. I can't wait to pick up my boy tomorrow. Hopefully the puppy-sitters have good things to say about him. ;)



Anyway, for those of you who did not de-code my message . . . . or did not want to :) Sherman has an official recall date. He is leaving on June 7th, in conjunction with our summer guide dog workshop. He will be going to the San Rafael campus which is good because I have family and friends there that I can stay with if he graduates, and it is easier for me to get to. He is very ready for formal training and he proves it to me every day. I am so proud of his progress and I am sure he will do great. He will make me proud whatever he decides. I still have a while, over two and a half months so we have plenty of time to fine tune everything. :) I sure will miss him though, he is such a great dog and so easy to get along with. Anyway, I better get some sleep before puppy class in the morning. G-night everyone!
