[nagdu] retiring my girl

[Nimer Jaber]

Hello,

I am truly sad and sorry that it has come down to making that
decision...I think I know how much she meant to you, and having retired
puppies it is just super difficult.  I hope that you will allow those
that are close to you to help you with this difficult transition.

>> I have to say, a guide dog is my number 1 preferred mode of transport. I’ve had to use a cane around campus a few times in recent weeks, and I am still good with a cane, just a lot slower at traveling, and I find a lot more things than I want to!

>> Another reason I think it is time for Jada to go live with her grandparents is that when she doesn’t get my undivided attention, she acts out.
>> For example, Last night I was asleep, but Jada wanted me to pet her (guess she had a nightmare or something) I am a pretty heavy sleeper, so I didn’t notice her trying to get my attention. She proceeded to jump on my desk and eat… shock shock, a chocolate bunny. Luckily it was milk chocolate and I didn’t need to take her to the vet (again) but yes, that happened.
>> I am keeping her on a tie-down under my desk or in her crate when she is not actively either being watched by my roommate or she is with me. 
>> Anyway.

>> Thanks,
