Mom and Dad received the most wonderful news today from our dear friends at Guide Dogs for the Blind! They have reviewed my case and decided that this white dog is worthy of financial support!! We have been granted $3,000 towards my back surgery so that, along with the $700 donated by my other dear human friends is a HUUUUGE step towards getting me fixed.
On the other hand....I'm not sure how much money $3,700 is, but I'm sure it would buy a LOT of doggy treats and a very very big sheepie!!! Mom was all teary-eyed when she opened the envelope and I snuggled up to her as she read it to me. I am sure sorry that I didn't become a real guide dog, but it seems that Guide Dogs loves me just the same. Thank you so much!!!!! I will give everyone involved in this decision really big doggy kisses and whisker tickles.
I would also like to dedicate this blog post to my friend, Freddie, a yellow lab like Sadie and I. He was also 6 years old like I am and he worked at the Seattle Police Department as an explosive detecting dog. Freddie died last week unexpectedly. My dad loved Freddie and played with him all the time. Rest in peace Freddie, we love you! The Seattle Times had an article about Freddie and the incredible work he did.
