Grizz's New Girlfriend!

Grizzley has a new girlfriend - Cardi. She is also a mini-aussie and Grizzley just LOVES her. Cardi came to live with us to finish up some basic training so she can be placed with a hearing impaired client. The two of them play and play and play until they tire out. When they do have that quiet moment together - Grizzley cleans Cardi's face - trying to keep her beautiful all the time. As you can see, she is missing a leg. I was in Target with her doing some shopping and a little 2 1/2 year old girl came up and wanted to pet her. I pointed out that she's missing a leg and the little girl asked where it went (as she searching Cardi for it). So I told her she was born with a birth defect and after many operations, they decided to take it off. But not to worry, I told her, she can do everything any other dog can do. For example, she can run, jump on the bed, go up and downstairs, etc. The little girl knelt down in front of her, held out her hand, and said, "Shake." Cardi is missing a front leg and by golly - that's the one thing she can't do. Leave it to a child to figure that out!!

UPDATE: Cardi was also released from our program due to dibilitating shyness and continued potty training issues. She was flewn back to Georgia to live with a wonderful elderly couple who was looking for a dog to love and cuddle with. She is very loving and we are excited for her.
