[cyber-sibes]

WOW! Congratulations Blair - you hit the agility jackpot!
That writeup on new mom Shannon is awesome, Blair's in for a real treat! Maybe one of these days you'll get a postcard from France when he goes with the International team!
You did good finding him a perfect home

we have to sign him in at the airport in an hour last night it finally started to hit me that, he is going all the way to Calgary, I probably wont see him again aside of pics and maybe on TV one day and I ended up crying myself to sleep last night its a great home and a great oppurtunity for him..but he is still my little fuzz head and Im gonna miss him terrably. I been taking tons of pics of him this morning, and he has been getting so much extra hugs and kisses the past couple of days that he thinks he is in heaven lol

Blair is going to be so grateful that you did this for him! And it will be awesome if one day you saw him on TV.

I know plus Shannen has a huge adavantage to help him over his issues that we could never have had. and thats neutral property. Blair is nervous is general, but its hugely amplified on "his" property, and because "our" house would always be his property to him, we could not help him very easily. with Shannen he will have a fresh start, she knows what is issues are and she can start working with him right away, one what to him will be neutral property.

He's gone now, just got back from taking him to the airport, he wasnt such a fan of the guy working in the office though lol, the guy forgot her had to check inside the crate before we oput the dog in, so then he just up and decided, without introdicing himself, to stick his hand in the crate with Blair in it! ya smart. we didnt stick a sign on the crate that says "careful: I may bite" for no reason, we stuck it there because he is a nervous dog, and his crate is his "safe spot" so random strangers shoving their hands in his safe spot aint a good plan!

well, he arrived in one peice, although Shannen said he looks traumatized and last I heard he would not come out of his crate

Aww, poor Blair. It will take him some time, but he will get comfortable in his new home.
I know it was a tough decision, but I am sure it was the right one.

I saw Blair about a half hour ago after our agility group meeting. He still wasn't so sure about things and still didn't want to come out of his crate...then again don't blame him, he was in a strange place with about 5 or 6 people looking in at him. Shan said she's not worried though and that he'll come out when he's ready. I'll most likely see him tomorrow night as well when I go in to assist if not then then some other time this week.
