Beginning of the End?

Lyn took Ardella to work on Wednesday and she had an accident. He cleaned it up and informed the building manager. Yesterday he was told that he was forbidden to bring Ardella back. In the meantime, we've been through an escalating series of accidents since Fun Day. I'm not taking her out and about at all now. I asked for help from my leader and CFR and I'm waiting to hear whether Ardella can go have further tests up on campus. I'm discouraged and I'm wondering if Ardella will be a Guide Dog puppy in training much longer. I don't want to give up, I don't want to lose her, and I want some guidance.

Meanwhile, wedding guests start arriving tomorrow night. Next week will be a whirlwind of activity. I'm excited, even though I'm feeling a bit down about Ardella. Ellie will be leaving us on Monday and plans to visit the Museum of Glass in Tacoma are in place. I'm going to be cleaning house today and tomorrow, and making menus for the week for all the family staying with us, but before I start that, I'm going to go console myself by buying Pat Conroy's new book, South of Broad. I will read anything he writes.
