Hello! I know, I know! It's about time I updated this thing. So here I am, updating, and happy to be doing so. It's been really hot these past few days, so hot in fact that I finally broke down and bought an air conditioner. It's been nice, and I finally slept all through the night last night, and didn't sweat to death ( Read more... )

Well it will be 2 months tomorrow since I brought this big yellow beast home from GEB, and although I wasn't sure about having a dog and a baby at first, everything's working out really well for everyone. I even taught Lennon to guide me while I pull our stroller. He doesn't growl any more when the baby tries to pet him, and Colyn has learned to ( Read more... )

Okay, this isn't going to be very long, cause it's 12 o'clock here, and I'm tired. I'll write more tomorrow, but for now, two things have come to my attention. Firstly, for those of you who have been asking for my email and phone number, my email's tcl189@rogers.com, and my phone number's 519-759-6306. Feel free to phone or email me whenever, ( Read more... )

Hi ( Read more... )

Well, it's official...I'm done all the training I'm going to do at the school. I got my dog's tags, my dog food, my going home documents, and I'm just packing up my stuff. My laundry was done yesterday so I've got clean clothes, and I bought pictures, vet supplies, and everything else I need from here. Hopefully I will be able to relax with ( Read more... )

Those of you who have gome to GEB will know Graham as the assistant director of Training, under Cathy Zubrikki. I'vew worked with him more this class then with any other instructor, and it's been a pleasure. I learned more then I thought I could in ten days, and even though I have had a dog before, I feel like I'm a better handler now having him ( Read more... )

Right now, I'm sitting at my computer, yes I actually did finally get it working in my room, and Lennon is on his tie-down chewing on his bone, grumbling and laying his head on my foot. The time here has gone so fast, and it's hard to believe that tomorrow I'm going home. I don't think I'm ready, but according to everybody else, we're doing great ( Read more... )

I have to say that this is the most perfect dog for me. I had my doubts at first, but now I am convinced he's perfect. First of all, we're working with Graham all the time which is an absolute pleasure. He knows his stuff, and doesn't nag or get bitchy about anything. He tells you if you're doing something wrong, why it's wrong, and what you ( Read more... )

Hi. This is a bit of a sad day for me. Although my route with lennon went great, and continues to improve every time we do it, my roommate Sandy had to give up her dog Jacobi this morning. They say he was just too stressed to work, and although we know it will all work out the way it's meant to in the end, right now it's hard, and we're all sad ( Read more... )

If i thought the morning route went great, the afternoon one went twice as great. There were only a couple of minor clearance problems, which we reworked and Lennon guided me around them fine. He's good at finding just the right spot to cross the street, and he slows down when the sidewalk is a bit slippery or bumpy. I can tell he looks back at ( Read more... )
