We are coming upon the second anniversary of your “gotcha day”. It is hard to remember life before you now. You are part of our family. I never expected to need a service dog. It isn’t something one plans for in life. But alas my life brought me to you. When my health took a turn for the worse; you became a necessity. I spent hours online searching for years for a service dog foundation that would train a dog like you, multi-tasked to alert to vertigo attacks, be a hearing dog and also help with mobility and balance. Years more I on a waiting list to get you, months of collecting donations to bring you home. After months of saving up money and watching others train with their dogs, picking up on basic commands and skills, I was told by the head trainer they had found a puppy that matched my needs. (Puppies are screened by the trainers for their temperament and willingness to train.) On Feb. 1st of 2016 I was matched with a male puppy from a local breeder that was a mix of German shepherd, Border collie and Golden Retriever. I named the puppy, you, Neelix. And so began our journey to becoming a service dog and our new life together.

      Aw, Neelix is adorable! How wonderful that you could find such a companion and service dog all in one. Love the photos of Neelix, or course, and the plaid paper with the yellow strip down the middle. Great page! Thanks for playing along with my challenge!
