Busy days

It's been a while since I've posted anything, so you're in for a treat! An assortment of pictures and events.

We had some very special guests from NC come for dinner one Friday evening. Rebecca, her family and their guide dog-in-training, Joe! Rebecca was the person who got me started raising puppies (she's raised 6 pups!). I've known her for a while and have followed her blog throughout most of her guide dog puppies.
Rebecca's puppy Joe, was returning to SEGDI for "college" the next day. Rebecca and I wanted to meet each others dogs and to watch them play together. Dave and Joe played hard, running through the house and tossing toys around.

We had a special dessert (for the humans) to celebrate Joe's return to SEGDI.

 

Thanks for stopping by Rebecca! It was great to see you all again.     Joe, study hard in college!

One of our puppy meetings was held at the Brandon mall. We were able to ride on the carousel for free! Dave loved it.

My birthday was the end of July. Dave was a great helper when it came time to open my presents :)

 

You know your a puppy raiser when your presents are wrapped and packaged in paw print paper!

Dave was reeeeeally interested in my cake....

Dave spent a few days with our area coordinator. They said he did great. Dave even helped scout out our next meeting... at Tampa International Airport.

 This must have been right after Dave ran into the glass at TIA... he was excited about seeing the birds outside :)

 

Thanks for taking good care of my Dave-man!

Tomorrow, we are having a pool safety meeting... complete with swimming lessons for the dogs! Should be lots of fun...
