On March 14 & 15th we went to Dana Point and spent the night in a hotel. It was the "Festival of Whales" we got the chance to ride a free shuttle, enjoy some Art Work.

On Sunday morning we heading out to the boat and went Whale Watching. We actually saw Whales......

Brian & Virtue update

We received a picture of Virtue in harness....with a postcard. She has passed her preliminary blindfold test and seems to be doing well. We have everything that can be crossed, crossed. We have hopes that Virtue will make it to become a "Guide".



In the course of a day in our office Brian is faced with some things most dogs will probably never see....He watched a new employee do "fit testing" it was a strange site with a cylinder over a persons head while wearing a mask with a hat on top. Brian actually helped this person remain calm.



















Brian watched as Reggie our Educator packed up her dummies she uses for CPR Training...Brian could not help himself he ran over and grabbed one by the nose.....

A Day with the Doodle

We spent the day with Yaeno and Caleb. Here she comes down the street with that silly boy. They looked so proud, she walks tall and with such confidence and his tails just wags the whole time. Yaeno will tell you she is a Big City Girl a New Yorker who will walk anywhere. It was great to see them come down such a busy street.

Lunch was great at Cheesecake Factory in the Marina. Than we went back to Yaeno's where she showed us some of her pottery and the beautiful earrings she has been making. She has a piece in a show called "Innerlight" Art from the Braille Institue. It is running from Jan 30 - April 19th at Forest Lawn Museum in Glendale.

You know we got all our hugs in...Yaeno life has completely changed since she has a guide, she is on the go constantly....I was tired just hearing about everything she does...and she goes Salsa dancing every thursday. She took us on a tour of her complex..what a beautiful place and the Marina right across the street. I can say Caleb is one lucky dog.

Catching Up again.......

Brian Is getting older.....He loves to play with Landon...steal his favorite bone, lay in the sun.

He is a very good boy............




He really loves to sleep on his several beds around the house......You will find him sometimes on Virtue's bed in the corner...Sunny side up

Time for Catch Up

My computer has a bug so I am playing catch up for the last month. Brain made an appearance on the Mark & Brian Show 95.5 KLOS....This was on December 17th....It was interesting. I have never been to a radio station before we where greeted in the lobby with a sign to welcome the pups to the station....It was myself and Brain, Chris with Mark, and Lori with Nigel.

We waited till they where ready for us to go on the air...You could hear Mark & Brian on the air talking about having the pups on..anticipation, we didn't know what questions they where going to ask, how long we where going to be there etc. Lorri has been there before so she was a pro.....
Here are a few pics of us at the station.....Mark & Brian held Mark & Brian while they where on the air....They both seemed to really enjoy the pups...They spent time with us after the interview taking pics and talking...Nice Guys

In Motion & Puppy Kindergarten

Brian is learning to come when called....He comes with enthusiasm. It's fun to see puppies run....

Run Brian Run

We started puppy kindergarten...We actually now have 5 other puppies in class Brian is the token yellow male.
