Lamar is gone. I feel relieved but at the same time, I miss him. When something or someone has been part of your life for such a long time, you feel a little hole when it is taken away. Surprisingly I never cried! We were actually deep sea fishing at the time when Vicki Hennig came for Lamar. That maybe have been better. We said goodbye to him in the morning, and then, when we got home he was gone. I think if I had saw them taking him away it would have hit me a little harder! I hope he is doing well with his training!!!
I learned a lot with having Lamar. It was a lot of work, but the feeling of accomplishment is great! : )

Yesterday around dinner time my mom told me that Vickie Hennig had called and that she is coming on the 16th. Wow, it kinda shocked me. I was waiting for that call all along, but then it came. I am happy that Lamar is leaving. This is the whole point in which I did a seeing eye puppy. Now he needs to go back and hopfully fulfill his roll as a seeing eye dog. But, at the same time I’ll miss him. He’s been at my side(figurativly speeking) for a little over a year and a half. Here is a few things I wrote in the Final Report form I did for Lamar for the seeing eye.
Please tell us about your puppy's personality, temperament and outstanding behavior traits:
He LOVES people! Get's excited easily and loves to play. He's funny, and makes everyone laugh. Kinda get's tired easy tho. I think he does very well on walks besides when he decides to park half way through. He thinks he's a lap dog. Always wants to be by people. If he looses sight of me(I'm taking a shower, go outside without him seeing, or he just looses track of me) he starts to whine until I come back in sit or talk to him. Loves laying on people's feet, being petted and talked to. Gives everyone a good morning kiss!
Toys (What toys did your puppy play with? Like Best? Destroy?):
He liked bones. Shoes, he didn't chew on them, but he likes to sleep with his head in a shoe, silly dog. Also he loves sitting(trying to lay) in wash baskets. He also likes his crate(he takes things in there without us knowing!).
Cute Stories (Things you'll remember most about your puppy.):
The one time we took Lamar out on our boat with us. That's another thing he enjoyed very much. Well, I jumped in the water to go wake boarding and Lamar went crazy. He ran around trying to get out of the boat. We think he though I was drowning and wanted to save him. I told him it was ok, but he still kept an eye on me the whole time I was in the water.
Oh, another cute thing Lamar does for me, is he's my insect detector. I'm terrified of spiders, and any bug for that matter. Lamar loved to step on them though, and eat them of course : )

One new thing Lamar does is playing the piano. We have a key board in our living room, it’s on the floor. I sit down and play a few songs, and here comes Lamar. He tries to sit on my lap and messes up my song completly. Then he tries to make up for it by being funny and starts pushing the notes with his nose. I think he’s still confuses about where the sound is coming from!
Pretty much, we’re waiting for that call to come for Lamar. Anytime now! We’re praying that he passes, and when\if he does that he gets a loving family(that doesn’t have good noses, to smell his dogy odor).

I just don’t really have much to say about Lamar these days! He had calmed down greatly, but he’s still the same funny Lamar he has always been. It’s crazy...for a wile it seamed like things were going slow and I’d have Lamar for the rest of my life(I hope he passes). But now, any day we could get a call from The Seeing Eye telling us they’ll be here to pick up Lamar.
Just today I was remembering the first day we had Lamar. I held him almost all day. I thought he was the most adorable little puppy. Wow, has he grown into a smelly old crazy dog. Haha no, but on the inside I still love him like I used to. Without Lamar things will be very different. It’s been a GREAT experiance, and I’m not sure how I’ll respond when it’s all over. I’ll be happy, but at the same time miss my little buddy.
