I had the MOST wonderful call tonight. A few years ago I bought a little female from Pat and named her Primrose, call name Prim. She ended up being somewhat the same build as Irene describes so I decided to let her go. Good lord, I let her go all the way to SC to live with a young woman who was disabled with fibroneuralgia, multiple injuries suffered as a competetitive gymnast and uses either a wheelchair or a walker. She does have multiple problems but even before Prim went to her house, she had ordered a pocket for her to stay in when in the w/c and a special sling for the walker.
Well, Jadon called and said she wanted me to know that Prim had saved her life 3-4 times. Seems she sleep-walks and has been in some dangerous situations while asleep. Prim senses when she has stopped for too long and barks, jumps and HISSES to awaken her. Once was at the top of the stairs...
Stories like this make me know 110% for sure that re-homing these babies is the right thing to do. Another of mine is a seeing eye dog for a nearly blind dog..They just never cease to amaze me..There are more stories like this from every breeder.. |
