Today we had a meeting. I really love puppy raising meetings. I love seeing all the other dogs. I love the other raisers, I love the raisers-to-be, and the sitters. I love stealing Vortex from his raisers, and I love saying hi to all “my” puppies.

What’s a better way to end a week with a sweet puppy than a wedding?? To look smart for the wedding, Festival was going to have a bow-tie.
So we found the ribbon
Festival wasn’t so jazzed about the idea of wearing a bowtie.
But when I failed at tying a bow-tie, I decided just to do a bow [...]

I promised pictures so here they are…we have a fully fenced and safe yard, so Festival and Daniel (my little brother) and I got to play outside together
Most dogs like to have something in their mouth when they’re running around my yard, it’s a weird thing I’ve noticed. So because I didn’t want [...]

6:10am the alarm on my phone starts ringing. Instead of hurling it out the window (like I would [...]

There’s not much better in the world than being so exhausted that when you sit on the floor to play with your puppy (or puppy-sitee in my case) you end up curled up together on the dog bed, napping. And then, when the puppy decides he doesn’t want to nap, but brings his toy over [...]

Well my friend Rachael and I had planned on taking Festival and her PIT, George, downtown Seattle together. Problem: George was recalled very last-minute this month. So yesterday we decided that we should take Festival anyway. It would be fun, and good experience for Festival. And of course, since any story is boring when you [...]

Well we have our lovely house guest. And I do mean lovely–he’s absolutely adorable. It’s……
Festival
I got to work with him at the meeting, and in our 30 minutes at home, he’s a great guy. I like him already. One thing that’s awesome about him is that he’s great with my little brother, who is 8. [...]

After a very long time, I’m finally back!! For some reason my computer wouldn’t let me log in to the blogging account for a week! UGH! So this is all a week late…..
3 years ago last Sunday (the 20th)
I went to the airport, more excited than I’d been in a long time.
I knew it would be [...]

Today Festival and I got to go to our public library along with the other youth raisers in our club and talk about guide dogs to whoever stopped in. It was a lot of fun to get to hang out with the other youth raisers Abby and Lantana, Rachael and George, and Graeme and Pace. [...]
