Bernie passed away on September 17, 2017. We adopted Bernie in 2011. He was abandoned by his previous owner. When we got him, he had ehrlichia and both of his ears were badly infected. He was not house trained but was a sweet as can be. Over the years, we treated his ehrlichia and chronic ear infections and worked very hard on his potty training :-). In November 2012, we took Bernie to test for his Canine Good Citizen (CGC) and therapy dog test with Therapy Dogs International. He passed with flying colors. From January 2013 - August 2017, Bernie brought love and cheer to many people through his therapy dog work. He was such a loving and sweet little guy.
Since both Sammy and Bernie have both crossed the Rainbow Bridge, we no longer have our "Mitzvah Dogs." So for now, we are suspending our blog. We do not say goodbye but farewell as we hope to get back into therapy dog work some day in the future.
RIP Sammy and Bernie! We love you.
