First of all, not enough can be made of the name Flicka Link! I mean, REALLY! Don't you just feel happy saying it? Next time you get the blues, try saying Flicka Link three times fast and I bet you smile in spite of yourself. Am I not right?
"C," Flicka and Rojo walking the grounds of Guide Dogs of Oregon, getting to know each other.
Practicing commands and using positive reinforcement.
"C," Woohoo, Flicka Link and Rojo-de-do-de-do
Using "tie down" under my desk - I know it looks mean, but this tells the dog, "You can relax now, you're off duty."
See?
Right by Rojo-de-do's bed, no more checking on him every 8 minutes! : )
And to all a good night.
I LOVE FLICKA. YAY.
ReplyDeleteOMHOG and HS!!!
ReplyDeleteFlicka come home!!
YAY!!!!
ok, i admit it, i said it three times fast and it made me laugh, which to be honest is quite a feat right now.
ReplyDeletei'm so happy for you and rojo - not t mention flicka. simply meant to be.
What a beautiful dog! And how lucky are you to yell "Flicka Lick" all day! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteEven knowing this was coming, I'm overwhelmed by the beauty and rightness of it, typing this through tears. She's as gorgeous as a dog can be (even Toby would agree), and it's clear she belongs in your family. Flicka Link, welcome home. Love to you all.
ReplyDeleteJust incredible....
ReplyDeleteLovely boy and lovely dog.
Flicka Link- I like it.
Can I change my name to Suzy Link?
I can be the missing link...
Sorry- it's early.
Great choice for Rojo and the family!
She's beautiful. There is no love like the love of a dog when you're a kid, even an adult actually. Now I'm missing my dogs.
ReplyDeleteYou drank the Kool Aid. And damn. It looks good.
ReplyDeleteMazel Tov!
So happy I can barely contain myself. I love, LOVE LOVE Flicka and everything about her.
ReplyDeleteAnd you,not enough has been made about your willingness to bend, and your love for you boy.
Wow! Wow!
ReplyDeleteShe's been there, what? a day?, and already no more checking on him every 8 minutes. She has already taken some of the load off of you.
ReplyDeleteThis brings tears to my eyes... Oh my G - I am such a sap!!
I must understand--has Flicka's presence really released you from checking every 8 minutes? And Rojo feels safe and happy?
ReplyDeleteIf I have that right...OMHOG!!!!
Welcome home, Flicka. Welcome home.
Doing the happy dance here.
How freaking AWESOME!!! Flicka...makes me think of the book "My Friend, Flicka." *sigh*
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your expanding family :-)
ReplyDeleteAnother service dog?? How exciting!!
ReplyDeleteNow I've visited the once via MO'N I'll have to come back and check on the puppy....
