My husband and I talked it over and decided that we did not want a deaf dog because of the possible repercussions it would entail. We decided to return her the following day to the breeder and get another dog when the right time came. After returning Clover to the sheep ranch, we drove back to our town and drove to the school our kids attended. We were greeted by Erin's tears and Bryan's anger. Erin said she didn't care that Clover was deaf, she loved her anyway.
Nobody is perfect.
Both my husband and I tried to explain that we didn't know how to raise and train a deaf dog and the responsibility of keeping her safe from harm's way would be tremendous, and frankly, we didn't want a deaf dog. Even Molly and Sassy were sad that Clover was gone. Sassy stopped eating and Molly stayed in her dog house throughout the day and night. We stopped talking about Clover completely until Sunday night, while watching TV, I got an idea. I turned to my husband and asked him if there was any kind of remote device that we could use to train her to come.
