Sunday in Pictures

Butsch and I and the rest of our “puppy raising group” took off
for Leader Dogs For The Blind in Rochester Michigan for Leader Dog University.
We get to listen to speakers, get training tips, and the Leader Dog people get
to see the puppies they have bred, about half grown up.
You should see the look on people’s face when a bus pulls up to the
wayside and 15 of the cutest puppies ever hop out

Duke was with us. He is being raised in a work release correctional prison
by an inmate. The inmate of course cannot cross over state lines, so,
someone in our group brought him along for the experience.
He has the biggest, blockiest, head of any lab I ever saw.

Maisie was with us. (Golden Retriever)

Jo was with us. (Black Lab)

Micah was with us. (Yellow Lab)
He is sporting a UW Badgers scarf — we could
dress for the theme of the day.

…..and Scout was with us. (Yellow Lab)
He was one of the younger pups on the bus.

And last but not least, we had a working dog on the
bus with us. Lilly is leading a visually impaired
person. When I called her name to take her picture
she turned her head away from me and ignored me.
Good Girl Lilly!
The last thing a blind person needs is a dog that
is distracted by someone on the street.

We had a lot more puppies on board, but it was very hard to take pictures while I was handling Butsch. :-) (Butschy Boy was a tad excited most of the trip.) He was the only German Shepherd on the bus. I saw one of his siblings at Leader Dog. She was 3 inches shorter than Butsch and much smaller.

Guess who I saw in harness there?!
Trixy!
(For those who don’t know, Trixy was the last puppy I raised
and she has been at Leader Dog getting her formal training in harness.)
We rarely get to see the dog we raised in it’s formal training
I got to say hello to her. Did she wiggle! Her trainer said she is “teacher’s pet”
If all goes well, she will be eligible for issue to a blind person in Aug.
