Happy 2nd Birthday Focus!!

Today my 2nd Guide Dog puppy turned 2! Focus taught me the definition of exercise, and so much more. He was born into this world destined to be the eyes for a blind person, but he had other plans.

He now happily lives with some family friends nearby. He was being trained to be a hunting dog, but he refuses to pick up birds so that option is out of he question and I feel bad about that because that was the main reason his owner wanted him. I got to go over there today and say Happy Birthday and bring him a new bone. His owner said that even though he did not get a hunting dog out of him, he got a great companion who he loves and could not see his life without Focus in it.

I got to have Focus last week overnight which was awesome!! He got to come to our puppy meeting, and than got to sleep on the bed! I really do miss him, but when I dropped him off the next day seeing him walk into the house with Rob not looking back at me made it all worth it. Just knowing that Focus loves his home and is well loved and taken care of is all I wanted. Rob said now that hunting is out of the picture for Focus, he would love to do Dock Jumping (since Focus LOVES swimming) or possible Agility with him.

Oh happy birthday, Focus! I think it would be hard for Focus to pick up the birds. I doubt Cabana would do that either. I'm glad Rob is being so flexible about it. Glad you got to enjoy Focus for a day--you're both so lucky.
