My not-so-favorite little girl, Pomona, has her forever home. And it’s 30 minutes from me. Since I was P-mo’s starter raiser, I didn’t turn in the “Fun Things About My Puppy” form, and thus did not have the opportunity to check the box that says “Share this Info with the new family”. So I mailed [...]

Graduation was fantastic. I had a fabulous time, and seeing Sakino again was fun. No pictures, sorry.
So at the reception, one of the families Pomona went to (the one after us) came over and said, “Anna, that’s the man who raised Pomona!” So I got to meet the guy who had our little [...]

For the GDB scholarship (which I’m applying for) we have to write our “guide dog story” including our goals, accomplishments, and future goals. It was limited to 4 pages (which was kinda hard) and I thought I’d share mine with you all. My mom will be proof-reading it for grammar before I send it, but [...]

Well here we go. The GDB people are asking for calendar submissions once again! I have some that are actually somewhat decent this year, but the frustrating thing is that a few have fuzzy spots. Anyone know how to get rid of them? Just to sharpen up a little area of grass?
Here’s the ones I [...]

Pomona will be living with the last raisers who worked with her. Not sure who that is, or where they are exactly, but I know she’ll be happy and she must have done something right if they wanted to keep her

Even though I totally thought I’d be fine with Pomona’s career change, since I didn’t really expect her to make it, I’m really sad about it. It’s so pathetic. Apparently even my CFR was bummed because she had overcome SO MUCH and become a great girlie. ugggggg…..stupid.

that Pomona is being recalled this weekend!! Wow! It’s been so so so long since I saw her, and I was so sure she would NEVER make it to recall. She’s one lucky girl to have such patient raisers.
Vortex comes for the weekend tomorrow! Happy happy Anna Our club’s outing is to a [...]

Well, it looks like no more starter pups for little ‘ol me. Our CFR wants the starter raisers to work with them for longer than a month, and that’s just not possible for me. So sadly, I’ll have to say goodbye to my dream of having one last starter pup. Too bad, because my parents [...]

Wow I can’t believe I’ve reached 100 posts….weeiirrdd…
Well with his raiser’s permission, I’d like to introduce you to Lawrence’s brother, Lorenzo.
Like most of the “L” litter, Lorenzo made it all the way to phase 10. However, he was career changed and is now living with his raisers’ niece.
One thing I’ve noticed about this litter is [...]
