the end of an era.....

To everything there  is a season...so the BIble tells us, and I have certainly seen that is true. And such is the story with this wonderful place that I have had the privilege of teaching at for the past 15 years. Every Tuesday evening two to three classes....many dogs and their owners have come threw. 

But change is in the way...Jeanne is retiring from the daycare side, and the property has been sold...houses will be built and the building is coming down. And the doggie print building will be remembered, but no longer seen.

I loved teaching here...you certainly could not complain about a small class room, or the students not having enough space. It was awesome for bigger groups and practicing the come commands.

I even had some classes here just for the service dogs when we had a bigger group here in Maine. So many memories....

Livy and Boomer came tonight...but when I first started teaching here...Moxie was the dog I had...then it was Camille and now Livy...and the service puppies in training, almost too many to name.

This is my last graduating class....they were such a fun group,and I think they felt honored to know they would be the last ones....

Its hard to write this story...not just the goodbye but so many stories in my head about being here, that I can't even begin to write them all. I guess they'll mostly be tucked in my mind and my smiles ..
