Chewy's journey to becoming a Service Dog ended in January as he was unable to overcome his issues with stairs, and surfaces were becoming a problem, too. A long time business acquaintance applied for, and permanently adopted, Chewy. He's living in St. Petersburg, FL with Doug and his four children (ages 9-14) - a very active family that lives on a canal with a pool and a boat! I visited Chewy in February - very bittersweet. It was the first time I'd seen him since turn-in last May. He looks wonderful and happy and while it was very difficult to leave him, again, he's in the perfect home. Lucky for me, I have an open invitation to visit!
After a play session with Fredo (CCI puppy) running around the pool and yard, Chewy flopped down and just looked at me. I still miss this boy.
Even so, after almost a year off from raising, I'm really looking forward to my next CCI puppy - hopefully within the next month. More to come.......
