Bon Voyage for Bubba!
We waved goodbye to Bubba today. Bubba is still in the service dog program but today he went to live with a long term foster until he comes in for final training. Since he is 10 months old, they will likely have him for about 4 months.
It was my decision to put him into another foster home and did so for a variety of reasons. Bubba needs to get out in public more and I am notoriously bad at getting to non-dog related places!
Also, while Bubba is incredibly fun to teach tricks to and is wicked smart, our personalities just didn't mesh. Bubba deserves a home where someone will appreciate his constant need to be close and who won't get annoyed by the 40th time he uses his nose to poke a leg and remind everyone he is still there. He certainly is one cool dog with a lot of personality!
Whereas I adore dogs like this: "he uses his nose to poke a leg and remind everyone he is still there."
Indiana will do this every so often when we're walking — to reassure herself that I'm there, maybe? I love it.
It was fun getting to know him. Hope he does well in his new home and has a great career.
