I have, however, decided that I "want" to do something about "this".. I could continue (and actually probably will) cry over it, or I can get active and be positive. So... in honor of my dear little dog, I have applied to be a puppy raiser with hopes that a puppy that lives with me for a short time, will become a life long companion of someone who needs them.
Paper work is coming from NEADS, an organization that I know well. If and when "my" puppy arrives, this blog will be the journal I will keep with regards to raising a service puppy. My goal is that when the puppy is one day matched with it's new owner, this journal will be copied and passed onto them.
So, on Moxie's birthday... I am thinking ahead and looking forward to an exciting new adventure.
Good luck, I know you will be a asset to the NEADS organization.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI have your application...you are all set...now we just have to wait for a puppy for you!! I hope it will not take to long...but hang in there !
My dog MOXIE passed away a year ago...she was 15....I miss her so. She was the reason I got started with NEADS...she was the First NEADS Maine Puppy....I raised her to be a service dog...But her hips did not pass ...so I kept her ...and this began my 16 year run with NEADS...as the Chapter Coordinator....so I think this is a sign... that you should raise a dog for NEADS...Welcome!!
I will be in touch with you as soon as I return form Hawaii.....May 14th.
So sorry about your MOXIE!!!
Take care
Linda Sargent
