Lowell..Claudi (CC).

Today was labrador playday at our work..We have breed specific playdays every Saturday and have "lab day" every 2-3 months since the labs come out in dozens! Today was probably our slowest playday to date with around 25 labs/lab mixes..

We invite all the CCs in the area as well and have so much fun/keep so busy watching them play..Our CC Claudine loves playday as well as our co-worker's CC, Riley..(they think they are king/queen of the playday)..

Here are some photos of Claudine and Riley..I think 5 other CCs were there today as well (Bonnie, Cooper, Lucy, Bordeaux, Mort).

Claudine

We carried Lowell through the room to let some friends see him-all 26 pounds of him..He's getting too big for me to carry-it's so sad!

Doug isn't coming home..

We were told today that Doug Dog is training to be a wheelchair guide and will be graduating in May. He will be going to Idaho for in home training.

We had heard rumor of him being trained as a wheelchair guide and I was fearing the in-home training..I really wanted to meet his person-it makes it much easier to not have them come home..Marina was in-home trained also..Good thing Emmy wasn't!

I can't wait to go see Doug-atleast we get to go say goodbye in a few weeks..

Lowell is great. He is alot like Doug--super easy going and low energy. I really like him. Vona came for a visit last night--she is still the same tornado of a pup..She never sits still that one!..

I ordered doug some toys and a photo album for his person..I hope we can be in contact with him/her.. Kim

Doug Dog..

Doug is in phase 8 today...After being gone 5.5 months...Nothing is even near certain for his future, but I'm sad..I love the Dougie Dog and was convinced he would come home..His dog sisters and I miss the goofball!!...More waiting...

Lowell and his half sister Claudine

Puppy!

Well, just as I decided to take a break from Guide Dogs and Bethany is getting attached to Jethro...we got a call yesterday that a SIMON puppy is available and will be here TOMORROW!..We have been wanting another Simon puppy for the past 8 pups!! Bethany raised Simon-I moved in with her when he ws 6 months old-we then raised his daughters Emmy, Claudine and Natara and started his son Ogden..We also got to co-raise his granddaughter Marina for a while..We love our big Simon boy and are sooo excited to get our MYL tomorrow!!

Sadly, Jethro will be getting transferred asap...He's a really nice puppy, but we couldn't resist....

Doug is still in foster care-hanging out in phase 3-he has been gone almost 5 months now..We really miss him ;-(

Jethro is growing up and loving people, dogs, toys-pretty much everything!

I have started another blog for my pet dog http://www.sidneyroo.blogspot.com/

What's new...

Doug dog is still in phase 3..He has been gone for over 4 months now and we really miss him..We hope they can decide something for him soon..

Jethro is fitting in well. He has been here a few weeks and is a pretty mellow little dude..He's doing good with our dogs and just kinda hangs out-he reminds us alot of Doug-Kinda dopey and silly.

Next week we get to watch Vino again-he is such a great puppy!..The new girls in the club seem to be doing well also (Karma/Kashi).

CC Claudine is at the beach with me for a few days..She's loving running free on the sand.
