Antonia will be turning 10 years old on June 25, and this year I really have seen her slow down quite a bit. She still works amazingly, but she is getting older and isn't able to keep up with my very fast-paced lifestyle. However I'm not retiring her quite yet, once I fill out the application, the waiting list at this moment is about 10 months to a year. The reason I am starting this process now is because I don't want to wait another year and have her slow down even more. If I wait until her 11th birthday to begin this process, I will not be able to get my next guide dog until Antonia is almost 12. Even though this is a very difficult decision for me to make, and I love Antonia with my whole heart, I want what is best for her. When she is retired she will get to be our families stay at home glorified Pet and will get to enjoy the last year's of her beautiful life living the life of luxury. PS. I will be doing a follow up video here talking more in detail about this process and what is to come. Thanks and advance for all of your love and support… This is not going to be an easy transition, but I know if God New what I needed when He gave me Antonia, God knows what I need now and will bless me with another perfect angel for this next chapter of my life! No one will ever take Antonia's place in my heart, but I know there is room in my heart for another special angel girl.💕💕
