One-way ticket home

Well... Kingaroo decided that coming home would be much more fun that being a Guide Dog. The official reason was Relieving (surprised at that one) and Body Sensitivity (not really a surprise). We always said the body sensitivity would be what got him, if anything.
GDB checked into a few other jobs for him, but most required a jacket and we all know how that would go... so next week he's coming home.
We are sad he decided not to be a guide dog- but are so excited to add him to our family. We are hoping to do something fun with him like nosework, rally, or agility. He's a fun dog and Judith will be happy to have a brother she can boss around.
Where does that leave puppy raising?
Well, in January we will start co-raising Lana the golden. She's a super sweet girl- and just opposite of the Male Black Lab I was hoping for. Ha... oh well. Between King and Judi's hair- it won't really matter.

Phase 6!

You're almost there King!

This phase is work in more urban areas... and pre-matching starts now. Here's hoping his perfect match is ready for the best Guide Dog ever soon!

Keep going, Kingaroo!

Puppysitting-palooza

Remember how we took 3 weeks off of puppysitting? Well apparently its 3 weeks off = 3 puppysits. :) for the last week we've had Volt (10 month old Black Lab) and Lana (4 month old Golden) then for the next week or so we will have Yanni...

It actually wasn't super terrible- both Lana and Volt are super nice dogs and we just did the crate/tie-down trade off. We will see how Miss Judi fairs after all this... Yanni is a 15 month old pup so I'm not TOO worried.  He's also a Phoenix pup so it will be fun to have him.
