Faith is Retired: Thank you for all your love and support

Hello and thank you for all the love and kindness I am receiving from everyone regarding Faith and her retirement. She has taken to crawling under the couch to watch me work (I work from home), she will also sit outside for a while during the day and watch the geese in a nearby pond.  Her days are spent with her "brothers" Yuuki and George - and believe it or not she's still wanting to GO everytime I pick up my keys.  She has ONE event to complete on June 2 at the Barkafeller's in Avon, IN - - and then it's weenie roasts and jazz festivals for this dog!  WHAT...you didn't know she liked JAZZ? LOL  THANK YOU again for all the love you have shown her these past 10 years. If and when we visit soldiers she will typically be in uniform, but now it is not a requirement. Sgt. Faith is retired. Thank you to the United States Army and Pat McGhee at Joint Base McChord/Lewis for all your help in assisting her to do her duties.

Faith The Dog

Of course, it must have been said that DOG is GOD spelled backwards. All of us who are so fortunate to read about her have a very real illustration of what to aspire to in our own lives, whether we are without body parts or needs and desires or whether we have imposed lack onto ourselves by lingering in sadness or anger or fear. I read about a man once named David Ring who wanted to be a minister and did that despite his cerebral palsey and lack of encouragement. The sermon I heard was,"I Have Cerebral Palsey:What's Your Excuse?"

Even before I finished

Even before I finished Faith's story, I was saying to myself "WOW". Faith is truely and inspiration to me as I have a disabiltiy even though she is an animal. I can now say, inspiration can come in many forms. Although I haven't met Faith, I am sure I would fall in love with her if I did.
