[nagdu] saying my goodbyes to Motley

[L Gwizdak via nagdu]

Chantel, sorry the refresher didn't work for Motley.  It sucks when you have 
to retire a dog early from behavior issues.  But there's really no 
guarentees when we get these dogs.  Hope you don't have to wait too long for 
a new dog.

I have been kind of MIA on the lists lately.  I had retired Landon on May 
15th and he is doing well in his new home.  He is a resident therapy dog for 
a Sunrise Senior Living facility in Carlsbad, CA.  This is a chain of VERY 
nice upscale assisted living homes where most of the residents suffer from a 
dementia of some sort,  I found out about this place from someone I know 
whose mother is in this facility.  Landon is having a good time playing with 
the residents and staff and I can keep in touch with them to check up on 
Landon from time to time.

I am recovering from a somewhat major surgery that I had on May 20th.  I am 
still sore and wearing bandages still but drains were taken out two days 
ago.  But I am thrilled with the results and will be more and more as I 
heal.  I will be starting my activities slowly starting Monday.  I will be 
using my cane for the summer and will be ready for a new dog in August if 
there's a match for me then.  I am very happy!

Best wishes for all who have already or are going for new dogs and hope you 
are all having a good summer so far.  I will check in as I can.  Oh, I am 
part of a group who is starting a new San Diego chapter of the NFB.  We are 
in the process of organizing the chapter.  There are a couple of guide dog 
users among us and I will try to get them to join NAGDU!

Take care all!

Lyn and no Landon
