Skye.

Last year we puppy walked a Flat Coated Retriever puppy called Skye. Skye was a trainee Autism Assistance puppy when we had her (she was with us for a year - from 9 weeks until 12 months)

Whilst Skye was with us she was my best buddy, we had lots of fun times together and got up to plenty of mischief!!!

I was a great big sister to Skye!

Skye had a special jacket which meant she could go ANYWHERE (cool, huh!?!) and part of her training was for the humans to take her to different places and lots of them, like cafés, cinemas, pet shops etc. She also had to learn some commands and how to be well behaved!!!

Skye had to leave us in March 2013 to continue her journey to becoming a special autism helper doggie. She was going for her "advanced training". We were all sad & really missed Skye, because she had become one of the family, but we knew she was hopefully going to make an amazing difference to the life of an autistic child & also their family.

Hello again

Cuddles 

WELL DONE SKYE :)

However, we still got to see her now & then. And the good news is that on Monday Skye graduated as a fully trained working autism assistance dog!!!! Yipee. We are so proud of her xxxx

I got to be re-united with my Skye once again and her new Mummy said we can still see her sometimes & she will also send us some photos and let us know how she is doing. So it isn't goodbye really!!!

Best Wishes to Skye & her new family xxxxxxxxxxxxx
