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 [...]

Well it looks like Tianna will be leaving today. Sadly. We were originally going to take her home Sunday, but when I thought about it, her raisers are home, and I really wanted to sleep in on Saturday. So I suggested Friday, but her raiser is meeting with a new family on Friday, so she’s [...]

Tianna’s been learning her commands this week, because since she’s so smart, she always needs mental stimulation. So we videoed her commands today. She’s still learning, and we use a few leash cues (especially on “down”) but she’s pretty good considering she’s 17 weeks.
Sit
Down
That’s Enough, Wait, and Ok
Wait, Ok
Sit, Stay, Come
Down, Stay, Come

Here she is…snow pictures!! My camera is stupid and the flash won’t work, but I’ll post the ones that are relatively non-blurry.
We’re still working on not eating the snow. But since it’s finally melting here, I’m hoping it won’t be necessary for too long. Still snowed in. But we did go on a walk today. [...]

I suppose I should update. Life’s been VERY slow here. We’ve been snowed in for almost a week, and I hate it. So does Tianna. We stil have about a foot of snow, but my dad put chains on our car, and we’re going to venture up to the grocery store so that I can [...]

Well we have had snow!! Ugh. I hate snow. It’s too cold. Tianna loves it!! She loves trying to eat it I should say. Do you guys let your puppies eat snow?
Tianna has been pretty good. She doesn’t know what to do with herself when she’s on tie-down and usually ends up staring [...]

Well she’s here. Miss Tianna came this morning. She came early so that she could go visit my old school with me (not such a great idea). My initial impression: she has a lot of energy and will be a somewhat difficult puppy as she gets older. Let’s just say I’m glad she’s not with [...]

And here you thought that meant I was getting a puppy. I’m so mean aren’t I?
Well if you thought I was getting a pupper, you’re partly right, and partly wrong. So I suppose I should start with the non-guide dog part of the news, or you won’t read it …
So here’s the story… [...]

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 [...]
