I asked chat gbt to create a memorial over 3 dogs I've lost... The one on the left her name was Shona, her nickname was clever girl because she would often open doors to let the dogs out.. so she could steal their bones...
The dog on the right is Clifford.. he was always so happy.. I use to live across the street from the library and one day he had gotten out.. when I looked outside I saw an employee at the library kicking him out.. apparently he walked up to the doors.. the doors opened so he went in to visit everybody..
The dog in the middle.. that is a Lauren.. she's the one that got me involved with dog training.. she's also the one who helped me train Clark. I rescued her from the local animal shelter only to later find out she rescued me. When I first saw her I knew it was meant to be.. I went to fill out the paperwork and the told me it was first come first serve and that two others had already filled out the paperwork...I didn't care I wanted to fill one out anyways.. a few days later I got a call saying my background check passed but she was going home with someone else.. a few days later I got another call saying both people backed out...I rushed up there and finish filling out the paperwork...before asking if I could pet her. The second she came in she laid her head on my lap and fell asleep.. when I got her she was terrified of loud noises and men.. but she eventually became a UKc agility champ and became an alliance of therapy dogs.. she loved going to nursing homes to visit the residents.
