The Big Switch

Hello everyone!
It's been a while since I've posted. We have had a lot going on lately. When we came home, it was a big transition. At the hotel, everyone was tired and calm. When we came home, Trenton was back to his usual crazy playing routine, and it scared Ronday. Then my Mother in Law suffered a severe stroke and less than a week later passed away, so we did not have a lot of time to help Ronday with the transition and work with Trenton. The whole family (including Ronday) spent a lot of time in a hospital room and then a nursing home room in very close quarters for a week. Later, I was in contact with Megan and Sarah and we mutually decided that since one of the reasons we wanted a service dog was to retrieve Trenton when he ran away and if he was afraid of Trenton, the chances of him retrieving successfully were pretty slim. Since he will also be coming to school with me, we decided to make the switch before school started so there isn't excessive change for my students.
Hopefully, we will meet up next week sometime and get our new dog. We will be getting a yellow lab named Nevile. We think that the lab will be much less easily intimidated than the Cavalier, if not because of the difference in personality, then because of the difference in size. I will keep you posted. Sarah and Megan have both been so great to work with through this whole deal. I so much appreciate everything they have done to help with our dogs.
