Last Visit with Nathan

Nathan is here for a few days and this is the last time we get to play with each other before I go "in for training". We have had a wonderful time growing up together and both of us are a little sad to be saying goodbye....

Dutch and Dustin

Dustin and I having a game of fetch with our puppy raiser. This is probably the last time Dustin and I will be together, he needs to go home to his partner and I am headed for GDA college the end of October. Our puppy raisers were so happy that we got along so well and became best of pals.

Sixteen months

Today is my 16th month birthday and I am feeling fine. I think I will go into training the end of October but have not heard anything official. For the last couple of weeks my morning meal has been cut down getting more every evening today my feeding schedule will be just like my guide dog friend Dustin, one evening meal for the whole day.

Dutch and Dustin

My pal Dustin is with us for a couple of weeks. We are best friends and have our puppy raisers in common. If we aren't playing around or taking walks we are resting on the tile floor to help keep cool.

UPS Fund Raising Event

Nellie and I met at Aliso Viejo UPS station. UPS was having a motorcycle fundraiser and invited us to attend. We met and talked with great people, many of whom support GDA and others that will in the future. Later we ran and played in a big protected grass field. After a while Nellie decided it was time to go home so not wanting to be left behind I jumped right in after her. One problem the car did not belong to either of us.....

Sawdust Festival

Kelly, Winter, Sydney, Dexter(my brother), Nellie, Brian, Velvet, Maci and I spent the morning walking around the Sawdust Festival in Laguna Beach. Some of us even got to ride the trolley afterwords.

Trolleys

During the summer we travel around town on the trolleys.
