When the choice was made and I picked Bailey up, I wasn't sure I would be up to the high drive dog that was chosen for me, a partially disabled grandmother raising her 4 yr old grandson with autism symptoms showing up. Waiting for the announcement of which pup was going to which person was driving me absolutely nuts. For me, putting my faith and hope in someone else picking the "right" puppy for me has never happened before. I put my name down on the list for one of her puppies. I attended a workshop/seminar she helped put on, and really felt the sincerity she puts into everything she does.
She spent 2 days working with me one-on-one, and ultimately I made the call that he just wasn't going to work as a Diabetic Alert Dog. I was guided to try to get help from KC from another trainer that was trying to help me self-train a Goldendoodle I had gotten on my own. That first alert brought tears to my eyes I thought to myself "What a blessing! Kenden has someone to watch over him." I can't imagine life without Sugar or KC. Since bringing Sugar home, she has alerted Kenden to his low and high blood sugars. We were blessed to find KC through a friend who went through her to get her son a Diabetic Alert Dog. Kenden was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 8.
