Oh this is a very Awkward Post...

We all knew it was possible for Cora to 'wash out' of a Service Dog training role and not make it through the final tests and requirements for public service... but we really weren't too concerned- she had the temperment tests passed and she is such a smart dog

Yes. It is sad, but it's for the best for all of you, and I'm glad Cora gets to be happy and you still get to spend time with her.

It's been hard to say anything about this because I'm so sorry that things didn't work out the way you wanted...but, you know, R and T are my two favorite people in the whole world aside from my husband and the World's Cutest Niece, and this is making them so happy, and making Cora so happy, that I can't help thinking it's for the best.

So I am hoping that Cora is healthy and happy in her new situation, which I am sure she will be, and her having a new home gives YOU more of the space you need to rest and heal and get healthy. LOVES!! to everyone.

That's the thing, ain't it? They are the PERFECT PEOPLE for this. I ask myself, who would I trust Cora to, forever and ever... and it's them. :)

Then of course, seeing Corapants glom onto T with a passion was the sealing of the deal. That girl LOVES her new Mom!!

I think it's fabulous.

And of all the reasons to 'wash out', being over friendly is not one of the ones I expected. *GRIN*

Oh you poor things. I have Lupus and struggle with my Rottie on some days. I have no partner so it's just me to provide his care and I am terrified that one day I will no longer be able to provide that for him. Luckily for me my Jake is actually quite lazy and not at all destructive so if I'm having a bad day I can just take him round the block to go to the toilet and he'll be ok for a few days.

I can't begin to imagine how difficult this decision must have been for you. You are making the right choice though. She will be happier there, and it's not like you'll never get to see her again. I hope this new chapter is good thing for you and your partner, and Cora and her new family. I wish you all the very best.

D, the love and grace you have shown throughout this entire ordeal has been inspiring, and I am constantly in awe of you.

I am so proud to be able to have the opportunity to call you a friend, and I am so so sorry for your loss.

I was adopted, and while I don't know how I can speak for a dog, I do know that adopted kids raised in love, and given away in love and in the best interest of the child, will remember, appreciate and love their birth parents always. You are an amazing daddy, and you're wonderful, and you and J can do this. I know it.

I love you both so so much.
