Yay it is finally time to bring Nilani home! I just finished packing the car and getting everything out of the hotel room and wanted to update everyone on our doggy tales. Team training has come to an end and now it is time to prepare for what’s to come.
Yesterday was graduation and I had a chance to meet Nilani’s awesome puppy raisers, Cassie and Walter. There is no doubt in my mind that Nilani was loved and well taken care of as a puppy. They exposed her to as much as possible including playing in the river, flying, the Grand Canyon and yes she has even been exposed to the hospital environment. I couldn’t have asked for better puppy raisers and I hope that we can stay in touch. They brought gifts for us. Her favorite stuffed animal when she was a puppy, a box of her favorite treats, and a picture album of her baby pictures. Nilani’s breeder and caretaker also came to the graduation. Nilani was ecstatic when she was reunited with her mommy.
After the luncheon and graduation we went back to campus and said our goodbyes to the many new friends we have made over the past 2 weeks. Everyone is leaving this team training a better person and with a much larger family. I was than brought out to celebrate the new addition to the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital family. Thank you ladies for the lovely party, it was so great to be able to share this day with all of you.
I truly appreciate everyone's support during the past 2 weeks and for my cheer squad at graduation. Everyone said that they were very impressed that 4 people came to show their support. THANK YOU.
We are going to go to her dog park one last time before we leave town and than off to Pacifica to introduce Nilani to her new home.
Thanks again everyone.
