Happy Wednesday Everybody!! Today I have some
incredible news, I'm so excited I can't stop smiling (and I think I've knocked
over quite a few things with my tail, but if you don't say I did it I won't
admit it either.). :-)
Before I dive into the incredible news, I want to thank everyone
who has taken the time to share my story. I found out that it is really touching the
lives of so many incredible people. As a matter of fact "D" (Simply
D) for those of you who are new... received a phone call this week from an 11
year old girl Kaylie, who recently lost her father and he was one of those
incredible people who took the time out to work with wonderful four-legged
friends like myself. :-) Recently she
and her mother had received the information about this blog, and from what I
hear it made her smile and reminded her of the incredible work her dad did. I wanted to take some time out to let her know
that although I am not one of the gorgeous puppies her dad worked with, I feel
that it would be okay to tell her that the people who spend so much time
helping us become better for people like my partner, should be on it, not only
by their employers, but by the community. As someone who has gone through the
training, I know from first paw experience we are not always the easiest to
work with. They make every effort to show us our full potential and we love
them for that.
Now let me tell you what else has been happening. I found out
not long ago that I have been nominated for a National Award called THE HERO
DOG AWARDS. This is an award that honors service dogs throughout the United
States. They have several different categories and you are allowed to vote for
one dog in each category once a day. What that means is the more often you vote,
the better my chances are of winning this incredible award. But that's not all,
I'm excited to tell you that there are other dogs from the school I graduated
from who are also in the competition. This goes to show that Guide Dogs of
America is an incredible place to go to school :-) and they are an incredible
organization dedicated to the work they do in the blind community. I know "Simply D" and I are so glad
for their hard work. Here’s what they had to say about us.
I know what you're wondering…..How can I vote? Well, you can vote for me by following this
link: http://www.herodogawards.org/
For every vote I am appreciative. What I would really like you to do, is take the time to share my story and ask
your friends to vote as well. Simply D really wants everyone to have
the opportunity to learn about the stories that make all of us Hero Dogs. For those of you who are
willing, I'm asking that you would please put “Vote for Gypsy” on your daily
schedule. Remember that you can vote starting today, and voting ends May 15th 2015. That will be the last day you are able
to vote.
There are so many other things that I could tell you about that
have happened to me this week that are super exciting, but I would love to
share those adventures and opportunities with you separately on up coming posts.
Needless to say, I am NOT living a
boring life, but one filled with joy and fulfillment that I believe comes from
being partnered with someone who is super motivated for which I am grateful.
Until next time, this is G-Q (Gypsy) reminding you to please
remember to have a Dogtastic week and
to keep smiling!
