Anniversary
Hi All,
Today marks one year since Mommy Shelly and I became a team. It does not feel like it’s been a year. It feels like just yesterday that I was being led in to her room. I remember the hard work we did in training getting to know each other. I remember the fun, excitement and challenge of getting to know all the new routes in my new home here in Washington. Things settled in to a routine eventually. The routine changes as the seasons change as far the activities we get to do, but we always go for walks a few times a week. I like going out on walks whether it’s a route I've done before or somewhere new. I like to do a good job. Sometimes I let myself get distracted by things like people and dogs and the wind and, and, and... Mommy gets my focus back on her and I go back to guiding. Usually she is happy with my work.
One thing that does not make her happy is my ears. I'm still getting ear infections! They don't make me happy either. We have tried several different kinds of food. Right now I'm eating fish and sweet potato made by Natural Balance. We really hope this food works.
But my ears are the only bad thing. As I said, I like guiding but I also like just chilling in the house with Mommy Shelly. I like cuddling with her on her big bed even though Rain the cat is there.
I'm very thankful to my puppy raisers and all my trainers at Southeastern Guide Dogs because they did so much work to prepare me for this life I love.
wag wag wag!
