[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Condolences

Good Morning Ericka, yes, Sophie was and still is super to us. No, I won’t be getting any more dogs sadly, Terry and I are both getting up there in age.

We do have Terry’s Sister’s dog and the neighbor dog who we call our “Grand Dog Baby.”

I have no doubt that Sophie was super special just like our buddies dog daffodil. Are you thinking about getting another one or like Chad just kind of trusting himself and making space for the memory of Pete. He had Pete for quite a while and then he had to have surgery  surgery that made him hard to keep his bathroom habits   that were harder for him too maintain shall we say. A lot of emergencies and messes that just made the dog and Chad‘s life miserable. That dog‘s only crime was eating a entire box of dog treats. I never got to meet Petey, but I’ve heard lots of good stories.

Sophie guided me for as long as she could, and when we realized that her hearing was diminishing, I became her ears.

That is so sad when a doggy loses their hearing. We have a friend whose guide dog also passed recently. Jerry’s dog’s name was daffodil. In the end, she was hearing impaired Blind and had a lot of medical issues. I am grateful that we got to meet the daffodil a couple of times. She was so sweet and still wanted to guide her daddy. He never technically worked her, but took her places as much as he could. Peace be with all.

Tracy and Cindy;

Sorry you both lost animals, too!

It is hard, but they are no longer suffering.

Sophie could no longer get up on her own.

She had also lost her hearing!

 

Terry

My condolences to yyou Cindy and Henry on the loss of your beloved friends.  My retired guide Krokus passed on October 1, and I miss him terribly.

Henry, I like your scarf, and what you say about Sophie.

Tracy
