Hello All. Today was day one of working the dogs. Graham is the instructor that I am working with. He is the Assistant director of training and he runs the Action Program. He is a really good guy and can remember just about every dog that has been in and out of the kennels. People are often telling me that I have a good memory, the steel trap if you will, but I think that Graham may have me beat. So, our repeated walk took us about 10 blocks. We did some streets and Bethany is doing quite well. I am doing pretty well at trying not to display any of my bad habits that I am sure that I have acquired over the years too. I am also enjoying getting to know the other instructors and the other students. Guide Dog School is an interesting experience. It is hard to completely explain. Even for me, of many words.
Bethany is very cute though. She has little ears, loves to lay on her back and I’m told makes funny expressions. Like, she has her working face, her playing around face, etc… She is definitely not like either Andi or Randall.
By the way, a Randall up-date. He is doing great with my parents, but Shana’s new cat, Fiona, who is living with the parents until Shana can get a place that will allow her to have a pet, is picking on my baby. Yesterday my Dad was downstairs in the family room and wondered where Randall was. Well, it turns out that Fiona had him trapped up stares. She was sitting on the stares and he was to frightened to walk past her. I am sure they will get over all of this drama soon, but for now he has my parents for protection from the de-clawed , but yet, clearly terrifying kitty…
