Hello,
Yesterday we went to the park day. It was raining and cold, but we anyway. Only one other family showed up, but they were really nice and had two boys. All the boys played tag and had a great time. The family also raises guide dogs for the blind.
The mom had a little yellow lab puppy with her and told us all about it. It sounds really neat, and Daddy is actually thinking about letting us do it. You have to go through a few training courses, then you get put on a waiting list. After you get your puppy, you have it for about 18 months, or until it 'graduates'. During this time you take it to two training classes a month and work with it on basic commands and exposing it to different atmospheres. When this is done, they take the dog back, complete it's training and pair it with a blind person.
Daddy is still gone on business and we miss him. He'll be back soon though.
Well, we're about to go to Ian's soccer game. Hopefully the fields aren't too muddy. Then from the game, we're going to the library booksale. YAY!!!
We miss you all terribly!
Your Friends,
-The Daughtons-
P.S. Happy Birthday Luke!
