The dog with a blog
For those of you who are just checking out this blog WELCOME!
This blog follows the life of a guide dog in training.
I raise guide dogs for the blind out of Southeastern Guide Dogs in Palmetto FL (http://www.guidedogs.org/).
The past dogs I've raised are: Brax, Frankie, Toby & Rudy (click the links under the header picture to read more about each one).
I'm currently raising my 5th guide dog puppy "Brandon"
(male yellow Lab - D.O.B. 9-4-11), who I recived on October 30th 2011.
I will keep Brandon for about 12-16 months, then he'll head
IFT (In For Training) back to the guide dog school for 6-8 months of training (plus evaulations) with "professinal" trainers and hopefully will then graduate with a blind person. *Please note though, that only 1 out of every 12 dogs will get "Carrer Changed" due to medical/training issues* I do currently have a guide dog puppy down at the guide dog school (Rudy) who is in "phase 3" (last phase of training) and will hopefully get placed with a blind person soon.
Please feel free to follow -
"Brandon's Life... As a Guide Dog In Training"
Enjoy!

Ewwwww :)
Besides that string of drool, you're a very pretty girl, Liberty!
To Rudy's Raiser--I noticed something in the upper left hand corner of your blog saying that your blog background will disappear from your blog on Friday. Just though I'd let you know!
Liberty is a very pretty girl, but what's that line over her muzzle?
Hope you're doing well today, Rudy!

Mango will give that paws up!
Hi Rudy, and Liberty too!!
Lu-Lu & Lucius
That's quite a mug you've got there. Is the slobber to keep away the haters?
Mr. Mango will be in love if he comes over for a visit and sees Miss Liberty! Very pretty girl!
I see that you have been quite busy and that is why you haven't visited with us and seen that YOU were the GRAND PRIZE WINNER of the Pippin's Peek at the Past Puzzle Contest! Please ask your Raiser, when you guys get this, to contact Grammy to let her know which prize you would like, and if it is a CafePress one, what you would like on it, because we could design one with you if you'd like...
That is odd it wouldn't show it for you, when I came here is showed it again! But when I refreshed the page it was gone.....oh well, it looks like you still have a template even though it said you wouldn't on Friday.
I see drool!!!
Don't forget, we are changing our blog today. Please update your reader to follow dogisgodinreverse.com
Liberty! I will cherish that photo. You are so beautiful and artful with your slobbers.
Slobbers,
Mango
EPIC SLOBBER!!
