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

There is 2 kinds of news in the world...

The good- & the bad

First off- the good news

My trainer took me to the vet yesterday to get a eye check up & a heart worm test (required by the school). The vet says my eyes look wonderfully and my trainer can slowly take me off of the eye cream!! We also found out the heart worm test was negative!! (not like my trainer was worried or anything).

And now for the bad news
Guess what my trainer is writing up on her computer??? The abbreviation for it might be "P.S.I" Those are the 3 words that describe bad news- (1) "Puppy", (2) "sitter", (3) "information"- puppy sitter information!?!
She then told me that I will be going "away" this weekend- this will be my 3rd time this year getting "puppy sat". Can she not just take me with her??

But of course I already tried that... the only reason why she can't take me with her is because she is doing "goat showing" this weekend at the state fair, though both her last dogs "Frankie" & "Brax" were able to go. It is not fair! I am told that it was way to much with Frankie & Brax- and now that she has twice as many goats to show I would have been tied up the whole time.

I will be leaving to my "new home" on Thursday night (after puppy class) and coming back sometime on Monday- the following week.
Wish me luck!!

(my trainer took some pictures of me @ the vet- I was trying to drag myself out of the room in some of them-vets are not my favorite place!)

Random pic & eye update

*Update: Eyes*


My eyes are looking much better, my trainer has had to go back to the vet to get me a refill of eye drops- but came back with "cream" to put in them instead! I might be going to the vet in 3-4 days or so for a check up on my eyes.

Here are some random pictures my trainer has taken of me over the course of a month or so. (you may have seen a couple of them in one of the slide shows I made)
Enjoy!

Eye issues...

Almost 2 weeks ago my trainer noticed a cut on my face - when it started to look swollen they took me to the vet; (Sunday-27th) the vet said the cut was infected but in a week or so it should be fine.

A couple days later she started noticing green stuff hanging out of my eyes, the following day she started seeing it on my eye ball and I started scratching at my eyes. They took me to the vet this Sunday (4th) and the vet found out that both my eyes are infected and the cut might have been from me scratching at my own eyes!

The vet has no idea were I might have gotten the infection from, but I am now taking 3 pills (one of which is for diarrhea that the others gave me) and I have to get eye drops every 3-4 hours!!

Yes it's a pain ; more for me than my trainer, please pray that I get better soon!!

I will be going back to the vet for a check up in a week or so

If my trainer takes a couple pictures of my eyes for you I will post them :)
