Selfish bitch that I am.....I want one more day again!!! :( :(
Lots of tears JoJo...lots and lots of tears.
Thank you all for such warmth and caring. It means so much not just to me; but to everyone else who has had to do this FOR our dogs.
This is the part I HATE about loving dogs.
I've been working on purchasing a K9 Training Center (2 miles from my home) but the deal fell through (the $$ people who were going to be partners) BUT....I've decided to use my "minority" status (female.....single parent) to get a loan from the SBA and go it alone.
The owner is willing to hold the mortgage for me for a few years and we're moving "forward".
This place is my dream come true. Everything I would have built, added, wanted in a working dog training centre. I stopped by there today (it was over 60 degrees here in NY) and saw the most perfect spot for a "memorial statue". A tribute to working K9's.
Aik was an amazing competition dog. He was my once in a lifetime..... but Apollo.....was the most "complete". He could switch gears from giving helpers all they could take.....to laying on his back with a kong in his mouth in the middle of the living room.
Apollo will be on that Memorial.
