One more puppy left us last night for her new home. This one was harder to let go, because it was Fluffy. Fluffy was, well, the fluffy one. Besides the obvious heartbreaking cuteness of a fluffy collie puppy, Fluffy was also appealing because of her cheery, bouncy personality. She really loves people. And we all loved Fluffy.
But Fluffy is destined for greater things than just hunting woodchucks (noble as that endeavor may be). Her name is now Asha, and she is headed for Salt Lake City to become a therapy dog. Her new owner came to pick her up last night. It was love at first sight.
Yeah, she might have to learn not to do this to the therapy patients.
That's Amanda, the therapist. She's very excited to have a dog. She even just bought her first house with a big yard just for Asha. That is one lucky dog right there.
So even though it was hard to let our Fluffy go, we know Asha is going to have a great life. And that leaves us with only two puppies still at Blackrock.
Belle the Devil Cat thinks that's two too many.

I'm such a sap. I don't know if I could let any of them go.
Oh, I bet you guys are really proud . Fluffy is to be a therapy dog. Sounds with her personality , she was born for it. AND I know too, it is VERY tough to let them go after you have been so close to them for so long. AND that devil cat is spoiled....hee hee. Looks like she was all ready to give fluffy her bath and the boot.
A therapy dog! Now that makes it easier to see her go. How did you and her owner meet up? Utah isn't exactly in the tri-state area.
What a wonderful future for Fluffy/ Asha!
that's so cool. will you get updates? and one stupid question can all dogs be therapy dogs or do they look for certain breeds and mannerisms?
Way to go Fluffy. You'll have to post her updates. I wish I could help you w/one of the others. But my cats rule the roast and said no DOGS. I'm sure all the puppies are or will go to great homes, doesn't make it any easier though.
Oh, that's a nice way to let go of a favorite puppy. She'll be off helping people and potentially knocking them onto the floor with her cuddliness.
:)
A therapy dog - tres cool. I also want to know how that hook-up (to use the street lingo) occurred.
Amanda's father works with the MiL. That's how it happened.
And Krysta, I don't know a lot about therapy dogs, but I think certain breeds are better suited for it than others, just because of their temperaments and trainability.
