An icy update, continued...

For this post, it may be more like an "icy adventure".

You may remember my last post (when I went ice skating), and when you read it you either thought it was a cool/interesting post, or you thought I was mean leaving a cliffhanger like I did...

"And I won't even start the story of what happened on our way home from the ice rink,

Lets just say the policeman & paramedics were quite nice..."

So right about now you guys are all probably wondering what happened, right??

Here is the story of my "ice adventure" (it wasn't icy outside, but the name sounds cool!).

On the way home from ice skating we hit a car- who had hit a car in front of him, another car in front of him, and a car hit us from behind. (speed limit was 55).

We were on the "side" of the road for more than an hour, as to police had to get information, and such.

No one was hurt in the accident, but there were some achy necks & sore backs...

All the cars were towed away, which means we were left without a way to get home.

The area coordinator for our guide dog group happened to be in the area, and she was kind enough to take us home!

Our car ended up being totaled, as the car behind us hit our trailer hitch- which drove that into the back of our car, (not to metion their was some front damage!).

I'm not really enjoying "car shopping", it's not near as fun as it may sound!

As you may tell in the pictures, the bumper of the car we hit is still attached to the front of our car!

Hope you guys all followed the story.

I heard that I will be going to a "mall walk" for guide dog training today, it sure sounds fun!

I'm back...


My trainer picked me up at 10 this morning (she drove!). I was soo happy to see her!!
I did have a blast at my puppy sitters house (she had another dog for me to play with), but I am really glad to be back at my house!

I had a fun puppy class last Thursday, my trainer's mother took some pictures of us there (those are the ones closer to the bottom of this post).

Enjoy the pictures!

Watch out...

You guys better watch out... my trainer just went to the DMV yesterday- and she didn't ride home, she drove... She got her permit! She just finished doing the "behind the wheel" for Drivers' Ed, and yesterday was the last day.

I really don't know how bad she is, 'cause they wouldn't let me go with them to the DMV):

My trainer thinks my eyes are looking better, but of course that could just be the eye drops helping (which I STILL HATE!). Below are a couple pictures of me at "Ruby Tuesdays" on Monday.
