Word you may not know - "My Raiser" is just like your "mom", but since I'm a guide dog in training - I don't know who my real "mom" will be yet.***
That is right, GABE is here!
AND I am "active", which means... I will be hosting A GIVEAWAY!
My Raiser has decided - the giveaway will be for... HER PAWESOME GOAT MILK SOAP! She even has little lab soap & dog bone soap! (see pictures below).
Want to know why we are participating in GABE? We hope to make many new friends, stay in contact with old ones, and win some cool giveaways!
Interested in entering our giveaway? If you have a blog, Leave 1 (ONE) comment and you will be entered, really that's all! The winner will be announced on April 18th - you have until April 17 at midnight to enter/leave a comment.
The prize is NOT store bought soap - this Goat Milk Soap is HOMEMADE by MY RAISER, yes MY RAISER makes the soap - the old fashion way with lye, not glycerin.
The giveaway will be for 2 bars of Goat Milk Soap - 1 "Lab puppy" bar & 1 "dog bone" bar (see pictures below).
This is 1 giveaway - if you win you will receive BOTH bars!
Have a blog? You CAN ENTER - just leave a comment on THIS post BEFORE April 18th!
Any questions? Don't expect to win the giveaway & want to order some soap? Email my Raiser at

Enjoy the photos of the goat milk soap!
Don't forgot to see the post below (my "Wordless Wednesday" post) that picture was taken at one of my "last place" visits - I only have 1 more visit to that place before I leave:(
(Note from Raiser - this soap is made from a mold, I don't hand carve it!

Your soaps are gorgeous!!!! I use goat milk soap and love it. So much nicer than soap you find in the store. If I don't win the giveaway I may have to contact you about buying some of your soaps. :-)
Hi Toby, that soap is like artwork, your raiser is very talented. I'm so sorry I found your blog so late. I already will miss you when you go.
What a wonderful prize idea!
GABE is so fun!!
Smileys!

The dog soap looks like a very small version of my friend Rumble. This is a great giveaway.
(I have a giveaway contest you can enter this week!)
Fantastic soaps - wonderful prizes. The best of luck with the competition.
Have a Happy Easter!

Clive and the NSLM
that is beautiful soap! Does yoru raiser make it from a mold or carve it?
What wonderful giveaways! Your raiser has a lot of excellent abilities, Toby.
I was reading your "last time" posts and it made me sad, even though I know you're continuing on your journey to do the most rewarding job a dog can have. Raisers like yours must be very special, unselfish humans to be able to raise you up and let you go when it's time.
wags, Lola
yay for GABE! isn't this the funnest?
your raisers soaps are beautimous! i especially love that it's a lab cuz, well, i'm a lab! heehee. :)
*woof*

PeeEssWoo: We gave GABE a shout out on my blog but I've got too much going on to give it the proper attention it warranted - I did let Twink know of a special prize she khould have!
Hey Toby,
Our mom would love that soap. We, as a group, try to avoid bathes by swimming in our lake during the summer months.
This is an outstanding GABE post, the best we've read so far; it's also the first.
We're going to be active participants too and did our post today at: http://bumpasshounds.blogspot.com/2010/03/confused-us-confused-never-well-hardly.html

You are so awesome for being my first follower. I wish you were going to be around longer. Mama says you are going to be so super-fantastic at your new job. She was friends with some doggies in training once and she says you sound *really* smart.
We're sending you lots of good vibes for your upcoming adventure (and your raiser's!) We've also decided to play a part in GABE so make sure and stop by tomorrow-ish.
Peace Out!
Stella-snuggles
Nice to meet you Toby, I love your blog and will follow it.
My Mum loves the soaps and I think the best thing about GABE is that everyone is a winner because you make new friends and that's the most precious prize !
Love, Bella
Hurro!

Hi Toby, its nice to meet you. I really admire the job your Raiser does in getting you ready to be a guide dog.
Hi Toby

What beautiful soaps, you are very talented. :)
Hi Toby - oh, this is exciting! Very generous of you to host, shame you won't be around to pick in pupson but such an exciting new life awaits you!
Lovely soap - we say it looks too good to use. (Mind you - we will ALWAYS say that about soap, bearing in mind what it usually involves, he he he!)

Grrr... Blogger just ate our comment! Try, try again...
We, too, are very sorry to hear that we won't get a chance to really get to know you, but we are sure that you will find a wonderful, loving life with someone that you will serve well. Grammy says that she really appreciates your Raiser, and the work/love she has put into you to bring you to this place. She worked 18 years with Special Ed. children, and knows how much some of them need the independence offered by your work.
Grammy LOVES goat milk soap (Lavender especially) and thinks those your person makes are really cute. We want to enter so that we can win this one for her. The Corgis from Corgi Country.
What a pawsome give-a-way and how awsome is Twinkie's GABE! You are so talented to be able to make those - when mama was furry young, she remembers a lady who used to make all her soap from lye - (but she had to stand back and just watch heheh!) Wonderful!
Big Hugs xo

What a wonderful blog. My mom person has considered raising a guide dog too. We have a place very close to us in Troy Michigan called Leader Dogs For The Blind.
We would love to win those wonderful soaps!
Please stop by my blog and enter my GABE giveaway!
It's so nice to meet you!!
I'm glad to hear tha your raiser has been to Japan and loved it.
And, what a beautiful soaps!
We love them!!!
WOW, those soaps are beautiful!
Toby,
Your raiser Mommy sounds really nice, and I think those soaps look real cute. Are they for dogs? Labs are prone to dry skin, so do they help with doggie dry itchy skin. If they do, my Mommy said she would order some for me.
Sally Ann
I love the soap! They're so cute! Once I get some money I'll be sure to order some, and very cool that Southeastern is going to try them in the giftshop! I hope they do fantastically!
