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

Harness Every Moment

Time sure is flying by quickly... I head back IFT (In For Training) in 2 weeks!
My raiser introduced me to the guide dog harness a few weeks ago, and I feel like such a grown up while wearing it :) 
I can't believe that I'll be leaving soon, I'm really going to miss you guys!
My raiser's Fall classes started in mid-August, and boy have I been enjoying attending those with her.
She has quite a busy class schedule, and it helps to keep my life interesting.
I feel like I've been such a slacker when it comes to posting... and I've realized how many exciting things have gone on in my life that I never had a chance to post about.
I think I'm going to "assign" my raiser to dig up all the random pictures taken of me over the last year... and post them once I'm gone; keeping you guys occupied with lots of "never before seen" pictures of me :)

My raiser has started to fill out the "Final Evaluation" (which will be turned in when I head back IFT), and she's starting to realize all the "little things" she still needs to work on with me... I guess I'm going to have a very busy 2 weeks!
Enjoy the pictures below of the puppy meeting last week,

Picture of  me still blindfolded, and now succeeding at putting the harness back on

Success! Picture of Brandon in a stand-stay beside me and his harness is on correctly!

Wordless Wednesday - Back to School

Christmas break is now over, which means my raiser is back to "school" (college classes) and of course, I am too...
Sweet dreams!

College Boy

As most of you know, Rudy headed off to "college" at the guide dog school on May 29th - though we already received the good news that he passed his medicals (and has started training) a week ago, I was happy to find a letter from SEGDI in the mail today. I just assumed it would be Rudy's harness picture, but I was surprised to find out... that the letter was "from" Rudy! Also included with the letter, was 4 wonderful pictures of my sweet boy. (I'll be receiving his harness photo shortly).
Our scanner isn't wanting to work at the moment - so each individual photo (and the letter) will be posted later - but fur now, enjoy the few pictures below!

Thursday-Cederville University

Thursday we visited "Cedarville University" in Ohio where we spent all day touring the college. For lunch my trainer's family ate in the college's cafeteria & my trainer told me I did very well!!

I got soo many compliments from people, some even wanted to take me home! My trainer also got many job offers for her to trainer their dogs:)

My trainer has been sure to get pictures with anything and everything in site, this post has less than HALF the pictures she got of me at the college...

Enjoy the pictures & please leave comments!!
