The beginning of training...


Well... That's it. She's gone :( Marcella is now in California... They called last night to make sure she had had her heartgard-- too bad I wasn't home to talk to them and ask how she was doing...


I did so well. I was very impressed-- She was put on the inside first crate on the bottom and layed down to chew a bone they had for her.


I witnessed the two saddest sights in the world-- the puppy truck with my puppy on it-- and an empty leash and puppy coat on my seat on the way home...


I kept this hanging up until today as a reminder of Marcella... Make me proud, Marcie!

For those who don't know: She will be headed back to the San Rafael campus of GDB and will be starting out with her physicals (phase 1 and 2-ish) once they get to phase 3 she will be in an actual training string and will begin harness work. Marcella is still not spayed yet so she could be on breeder watch for a couple of weeks until they decide if they want her for breeding. Her sisters weren't on breeder watch for very long so I'd asume they don't want a breeder from this litter... but you never know...Cross your fingers she makes it through the Preliminary stuff and can start Guidework soon!

Good luck Marcella! Here's hoping her health checks out and she can speed her way through training :)

I HATE the empty leash/jacket look. It brought tears to my eyes. Good luck to Marce, I know she will do well. Hey, you should apply for a golden now and maybe (if GDB is still using them) they will have one for you in 20 months when you get back. lol
