We've just returned from a fantastic three week family holiday enjoying the sun and sand.
For me, it is the only time that I can really relax and unwind, which is vital to me starting the new year feeling ready to take on my role as carer.
This time away also gives me a chance to reflect on the year just gone and our accomplishments along the way. As a team, we are better than ever. Bailey is now two years old and a little more mature and relaxed. He is confident in his alerting which has been extremely consistent and reliable.
It became even more evident how hard he works and what a valuable asset he is when he was not with us.
I don't know how many times I said, 'I wish Bailey was here' when on holiday, as at times, I struggled to keep Jason's BGL's within range.
Their bond has grown ever closer too, with Jason commenting how 'Bailey is the best friend a boy could ever ask for'. This connection, the attention and care that Jason shows his dog, contributes to the success of the team and is what makes it really special.
So here's to a new year and the old saying that 'anything is possible', for when I started my journey to train a DAD for my son I had only my belief that it was possible... and nothing more.
