MidDate: The end of Part 2

Today I got the official announcement that Midnight has been chosen as a breeder, for the Guide Dog Foundation.

I have a lot of mixed emotions right now. I know that its a great honor to have a dog chosen as a breeder, but really and truly I had nothing to do with her temperament. GDF really needs to be patting themselves on the back for breeding her parents!

In the long term, I know she will go far above that which she would be as a guide dog.
Maybe I"m just weird...or just jealous that someone else gets to love her like she's a plain ol' dog.

But whatever the case, I'm proud of her, she was a great dog! I can't wait to see/hear about her puppies!!

And no I will most likely not get to raise one of her pups. Which is another disappointment. But ah well!

I have to wait three months before I can contact her new people to see how she's doing! But I will fill you guys in of course!!

December 17: MidDate No. 3

Amazingly enough, Midnight has been IFT for about a month now and I have received an update!!!

"Hi Erin, Midnight has beat out all of her litter mates and goes in for her hip x-rays next week.
If she passes these, then she'll be a breeder!! Good job girl!"

I'm happy to have an update so soon...I really can't believe it!

MidDate No. 1

Phone Call:

" Hi Erin, your girl did beautifully for her first flight, she even got a certificate saying that it was her first flight. She got to meet the pilot and get her picture made with him. So she's having a blast! Great job with her! Talk to you later."

So she's having fun...why should I be sad?
