Dutch and Dustin first meeting

I went to the GDA graduation and met my step-brother Dustin. He became a official working guide dog yesterday. It was real cool to meet him and I will try to follow in his footsteps, I started with the resting position. :)

11 weeks progress report

Here I am at eleven weeks. I am pretty much potty trained, I sit and wait for my meals, I can do a sit when asked, I walk nicely when my leash is on and I am working on the down. I understand NO and wait. I ride on the passenger side floor when in the car. The only thing is my family would like me to sleep in a bit, I like to get up at 4:30 AM to relieve. I can't be the perfect puppy, that would be no fun for my Mom and Dad. :)

Natasha and James had me do my impression of a gargoyle.

First GDA Outing

I went to Kelly's house this morning and played with her and Nadia. After a fun play time we headed to a summer day camp for children. The kids wanted to know everything about being a GDA guide dog. I slept though most of the event, playing takes it out of you.

Bath Time

Natasha and James helped give me my first bath.

Outing

First's: Costco and a offical table down.

Sleeping Dutch

I am working on my sleeping styles.....

Kennel time with Nathan

I miss Nathan, since he went home no one else wants to be with me in my kennel.....

Me and my buddy Nathan

Waiting for dinner

Sometimes my tummy starts to rumble way before dinner so I have to wait. My food is in the closet in front of me.....

4th of July Weekend

I met most of the family this weekend. Natasha helps take care of me, we like to watch tv and play games. The two J's, James and Jake are fun they make me happy. Then there is baby Nathan, we have the most in common, we are little, we can get in trouble fast, we both like to lick and give kisses, and we both love my kennel.

Dutch

I am getting use to being at my new home. I get lots of play time with the family.
