About Me

My photo
I am a male yellow Lab. My birth date is September 4th 2011. I am in training to be a guide dog for the blind. (guide dog school -Southeastern Guide Dogs) I'm my raiser's fifth guide dog puppy. She will keep me for (about) 1 year, then I will head off to harness training! Please feel free to follow my blog and keep up with: Brandon's Life... As a guide dog in training

Your help...

...is needed!!
Some of my newer followers may not have seen the post I did back in December, with the goals I hoped to achieve BEFORE returning back to the school.

My top 5 were -

1. Get 100 followers on my blog (!!)
2. Get over 20 comments on 1+ posts (20 comments from 20 different blogs)
3. Update my blog frequently
4. Obey my trainer and learn as much as possible
5. Become the BEST guide dog I can!

YOUR HELP is needed for the first 2, if you are a current reader that isn't following my blog, please do so. If you are one of my pawesome followers and you LOVE my posts, please leave comments.


I would love to fulfill most (if not all) of my goals - you may not be able to help with me obeying my raiser, but you CAN (and hopefully will!) follow me & leave comments!

Updates on my goals:
1. I have 88 followers, only 12 more to go!
2. The most I have gotten on a post is 15 comments, please keep commenting!
3. I have been very busy with blogging lately, adding Wordless Wednesday posts on too.
4. My Raiser said I'm doing a GREAT job with this one, and learning as much as possible!
5. I'm trying... I guess will find out in a month!

If you can help me at all with reaching my goals PLEASE DO!!

All comments I receive from you guys are greatly appreciated :)
THANK YOU!

Enjoy the 2 photos of my shopping trip today, I had some more comments on what a great "GUIDE dog" I am... :)

Lola and also Franklin, too said...

Those pictures are great. The lying down is part of the training, I suppose? I bet that's very hard to learn to do when there's so much to sniff!

Oh Toby, such cute pictures of you "shopping." It's a hard job but someone has to do it -- haha! :-)

Hi Toby,

Loved to see those photos of you "working"!

I would love to help you more - it's just that my human is often so busy that she can't help me visit my blog friends much but I do come round whenever I can and when I do visit, I ALWAYS comment! :-)

Good luck with your goals!

Hehehe. That is funny guiding for sure. Guiding into deep meditations I think.

Hey, We already follow you, so Yea on that 88 is great and I hope that 100 is not too far off. It is very nice to get feedback. I know that I always appreciate it when I hear from you! I notice that you are sleeping in the aisles. Bingo never does that in the grocery. Too many smells. Especially in Fresh Market! ;-) And when do you get a harness to try?

Hi Toby,

We are following you now. Good luck with your goals.

Nope, I wasn't aware of your goals, but I found them very realistic. I think that GABE participation will help you reach them. After GABE is over, if you need more help with your goals, please remind me, I'm very forgetful, and I'll do what I can.
Twink!

Thanks for visiting us Toby. We hope we have helped you on your way to some of your goals.
Good luck and we look forward to getting to know you.
We have been sponsoring a puppy in the UK called Marco who has just been rehomed as a pet - apparently he was food obsessed!
So we know it is very hard work - we are to get a new puppy!
love
