My little favorite made it into the GDB Community Connections newsletter! I sent in the picture of him at school, and Sarah loved it, so now he’s famous.

In other news, I’m puppy-less, but still thinking Tianna should be here. I got home from the mall today and almost [...]

Mellow Fellow
Fellow is very calm and laid-back. BUT, I’m looking forward to taking Vortex again. I love that little puppy. Fellow is so so so calm that he almost has no personality. I like Vortex’s spunky personality.

As you all in CA are enjoying Fun Days (and Kelsey and Emily getting their new boy!!!) Little Lantana has wiggled her way into our house and hearts. She’s very much a golden. If you don’t know what I mean by that, ask Emily and Kelsey after they’ve had their puppy for a few months, [...]

Today we started out for the bus and work eagerly anticipating Gaston’s reaction to the wire crate at my job–the thing which would either let him stay through tomorrow or make him go home early. Well we got there and he did fine with it. Yaaay.
It was an exhausting day at camp, but somehow having [...]

The letter for the week? G! As in Gaston the male golden retreiver who is spending a few days at my house. He gets to be the first one to take the bus adventure with me this summer. Our club’s other golden might also get the chance in August.
Gaston’s raisers (our leaders) brought him over [...]

Yeah, so Lawrence is still in 10! I’m really excited! I hope he makes the July grad with all his buddies. Remington, Loden, and Lassiter all moved up to 10 with him!!!! What good boys!
I don’t think I’ve ever told this story on the blog so if I have, bear with me. Lawrence was always [...]

Well he’s still alive! I have to contact Arturo’s owner family to get any info on how he’s doing, so I e-mailed them yesterday after the presentation at the library. This is what she had to say:
Anna:
Raleigh(Arturo) is doing great. We set out at 5:30 am tomorrow morning for our big Sunday walk with Molly, [...]

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. [...]

I didn’t post this yesterday, but Lawrence decided this whole “guide dog thing” is still really a cool idea. He moved up to phase 10 and we’ll start the waiting (and hope for a July graduation!!) His buddies will probably jump up to join him next week, but for now they’re in 9.
Our older golden, [...]

Today I stole Mr. Fellow from his raisers. It’s such a great name! The entire time we’d say “let’s go little Fellow”. I love it. He’s such a doll.
Of course, being a black, it made it three times harder to get decent pictures of him…
We went to our outdoor mall while school was [...]
