We have been, and will continue to work with both of them. It's a very tough thing when working with an elderly person who has her own frailties. Yes, training is ongoing. It's inconsistant because of this woman's personal health issues. Some days she's in bed most of the day, and the dog is at her side or on her bed. Again, this isn't about me, or what I'd do or not do.
I'm just trying to find out information on every avenue. The move is pending, but she could be selected at any time. She may not have much notice. Believe me, she loves her dog dearly, and has given up her own wants to supply this dog with whatever is needed for care and food. This decision isn't being taken lightly.
It's easy to be judgemental friends, but unless you've walked in the same shoes as another, best not to cast stones. Are you elderly and confined to a bed or wheelchair much of the time? Will you be moving into tight quarters with other elderly people? Do you have no other living thing that cares about you as much as your pet? Has your doctor just given you a terminal diagnosis?
Please think before responding.
