Yesterday was a sad day. I wish this day would never come. Rauha the assistance dog is leaving. She's now ready to go back to work. I can admit that I cried like a little baby when I said goodbye. I'm a quite sensitive person and especially situations like this is really difficult for me.
I just hope with all my heart that she will have a good life wherever she's going. I mean, that's the hardest part, not knowing how she's doing.
On the bright side, we have had many incredible moments together that I will never forget. I can also try to comfort myself with that I might see her again, but nothing is for sure. There is a small chance for that to happen, only if she needs some training in the future. If everything goes well for her at work, I will never see her again. I think that's most likely to happen.
This is now the third time I'm experiencing this (we have had several assistance dogs), and I don't wanna go through it again. We just need to get an own dog that you can keep forever.
Fortunately, we still have Picasso (our cat) who can comfort us when we are missing Rauha the most. I have many beautiful pictures of Rauha from our time together. I wanna share them with you.
