Getting A Service Dog.

[blackemerald1]

So first is obtaining the funding... I'll get back to you when I'm successful with that.

Hey everyone,
so I've just driven for four hours to go to an information night on training service dogs.
Got to my destination & my phone rang.
Guess what... meet my new service dog.
She arrives second week Feb. K..
What do you'll reckon? Am I the craziest luckiest person???

 

[blackemerald1]

Going to put her over in the photo section too.. I'm dancing around with adrenaline dripping from my nose. It's taken me half an hour to get my laptop out & post that pic. lol sweaty fingers & bushfire smoke ugh...

Still gonna go to the seminar though... I don't trust madam fate, she's a fickle character!!

 

[bellbird]

Holy shit!!!!!
I'm thrilled for you, b!

 

[blackemerald1]

I know Holy Mackeral I'll say! It seemed that I had to make up my mind to bloody do it myself and wallah!
I'll post another pic in a sec. She's not related to B but well she's obviously a beagle too. Which I really love.

Bit of a back story and it's really sad. Her name is K. She qualified late last year round the same time B. did. She went to her owner & everything was good. Then the owner's health suddenly failed so K. has been sent back to the org. They thought of me and called me this afternoon asking me if I wanted her.. hell yeah!!

OH! MY! GOD!

I'm so HAPPY for and actually SO PROUD of you!

And ooohhhhh my f*cking gooooood! THAT FACE!!!

I'm sitting here with a big fat smile and will do a little happy dance for you. Screw that ...I'l do a BIG happy dance. And will keep EVERYTHING I have crossed!

Lol.. I gotta calm down...
Why, why, why...does this friggin happen to me???

I've just spent a lot of time & money forging my way ahead, pushing so hard through this huge rock solid massive wall of depression to do this the only other possible way...
Rung & emailed a whole lotta ppl to get reports sent and explainin sh*t all over again...

and then this...
I'm convinced I should proceed with the course and applying for funding though...

Maybe I'm having a psychotic break...

I'll go and look in the mirror here and see if there are any unicorns waiting in the cubicles...
Get backto ya

 

[blackemerald1]

Nope no unicorns....

That face - you're so right @siniang - it could sell a lot of tissues, toilet rolls & stuff?? lol...

They sent me through the photos & I nearly fell outa my car - woulda hurt being a 4wd - LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.

Classic beagle 'longing' look going on hey?

hmm. there was nothing wrong with B's face but this one - good heavens....

Just cannot believe it. I've given myself a really bad headache lol...

Gotta log off now and get back to what my mission was. Whaat was I doing? What am I doing here...looking around puzzled... whew!

Honestly didn't think I'd crack a smile today, but it's hard not to be completely over the moon for you:)

You so deserve this, and it sounds a bit like you and K have both had unfortunate false starts, but you're so going to make this work, and I feel so completely thrilled for you. Both of you actually, since K will be so thoroughly loved and looked after.

Don't imagine you'll get much sleep tonight from the excitement - the extremely rare, good kind of insomnia that happens when something really super exciting is coming true?

 

[Freida]

OMG!!!!!!

Holy crap this has just made my day!!!!!! I am so very excited for you!!!!
Wow. Just. Wow.

And yes --- you deserve this :hug:

 

[blackemerald1]

Thank you everyone I'm not sure if I deserve this much good stuff happening to me. It;s quite unreal. Feels that way. It will get really real for sure when I open the door & see K there. But I've got to wait it all out now till second week in Feb.
The trainer coming with K is not the same as last time so it will be like starting over anew.
Better get my house is tip top order.
I'm surrounded by such loss. It's being called the Black Summer here and I think that is appropriate name. Turning out to be memorable that's for sure.
I wanted to share my joy with you all.

Thank you for sticking with me! :hug:
