CARLENE,

I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT SERVICE DOG BELLOW PASSED AWAY ON 08/08.  HE LET US KNOW IT WAS TIME.  HIS NINTH BIRTHDAY WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FOLLOWING DAY.

I WANT TO EXPRESS MY SINCERE THAMK YOU FOR THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX AND MAKING YOUR VISION FOR SDP COME TO FRUITION DESPITE THE CRITICISMS AND “KNOWLEDGE” OF OTHERS IN THE FIELD.   

ON 12/31/2017, I WAS OFFICIALLY MATCHED WITH BELLOW.  HE CAME INTO MY LIFE WHEN I NEEDED HIM MOST.  ON THAT DAY, I DIDN’T JUST GAIN MY PARTNER AND SENSE FREEDOM, I GAINED A LARGE EXTENDED FAMILY OF CPs, VOLUNTEERS, AND PEOPLE WHO WORKED AT SDP.  

FOREVER THANK YOU,

CATE KILLOUGH & SERVICE DOG BELLOW

i hate to hear any have passed away, but i have hundreds of dogs i worked with.  

(- and donated  either as service dogs   or as pets ( workng pets hopefully) ) 

 they are all getting to the age of “completed lifetime “  

 you give dogs a happy lifetime, and when it is over-- it is over-    you let them sleep

a tough call, but true....

 i am happy to hear that cate “gained a large extended family" of Camera People. -- that “family “ still exists today.

i send out this daily doggie with constaNT CONTACT BECAUSE AOL IS FUSSY ABOUT TOO BIG A GROUP OF ADDRESSES

IT GOES OUT TO 2500 ADDRESSES AND IS  OPENED AND  READ BY 1189 PEOPLE PRETTY REGULARLY.

 EVEN WITH MY BAD PERFORMANCE IN THE PAST MONTH. I AM. SHOCKED TO SEE HOW REGULAR THAT NUMBER IS

ACTUALLY THAT 1189  NUMBER GOES BACK 4 OR 5 YEARS.

 EVEN WITH THE NUMBER OFR CP’S WHO ARE RESTING IN PIECE SOMEWHERE... THERE SEEM TO BE A STEADY FLOW OF 

ONE OR TWO WEEKLY TO KEEP THE  TOTAL STEADY,

WE ARE A  SOLID BLOCK OF PEOPLE -- WHO KEEP THIS BUSINESS  OF BENEFITTING ANIMALS WHO THEN BENEFIT PEOPLE

YOU ALL KEEP US. ‘IN THE Hay”-- or in todays dilemma  DOG FOOD !--- i have barely enough for their  breakfast--- somehow i will

get some more by noon... the tractor supply is literally 3 miles away..

and then there is.... automatic  supply from chewey-- which i have avoided because i am afraid of those automatic things.

running along-- looking forward to dictaation - like maybe this week??????
