Has passed....like Ingwedog I please no rainbow bridges etc...just tip a glass tonight to a truly remarkable dog.... The day she came home .... ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/d.jpg) As you guys know, I'm a trainer and Etta was to become my "Demo" dog....and I taught her literally everything I know how to teach a dog. At the risk of boring you, I'll give a short resume for her.....She was Certified as a Mobility Assistance Service Dog Level I, Service Dog Level II ( there is no level 3..) Certified in Seizure Alert and Response, Certified in Narcotics Detection,Suspect Apprehension....She had a repertoire of 130 commands,30 hand signals, and a vocabulary of almost 300 words. She was, in a word, Prodigal. Her passion was fishing with me, and a better companion could not be imagined.... ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/etta.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/blacktail2010014-1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/049_49.jpg) Like Ingwedog I she had a full life, and you could count yourself lucky if you got to see and do as much as she did in her short 15 years...

Sorry to read this. They just don't live long enough. My last one was my last one.
Can no longer face the departure.

Sorry to hear this Ingwe. I will definitely tip a toast to her this evening. She was obviously a very special friend indeed.
