I got word today that Nettie is in class and scheduled to graduate on July 19! I truly was not expecting this yet -- I honestly wasn't sure she'd make it after the last report. I don't know much more yet, but will write much more later.
An optimistic meditation on puppy raising for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, and other adventures in chaos.
Murphy (Wella x Farrell), the first pup we raised, is a male black Lab who graduated in June 2007 and is working as a guide dog in Wyoming.
The second pup, Nettie (Quarry x Evan), a female yellow Lab, arrived in mid-February 2007 at 6 months old and stayed with us for a year. She graduated in August 2008 and is working as a guide dog in Kansas.
I'm a slightly harried wife, mother and journalist, with one understanding husband, two great kids, two cats and usually at least one Lab, managing controlled insanity at a place we call Chaos Hill.

Yay for Nettie!!! That is wonderful! Are you allowed to meet her partner at graduation?

Yes, we do get to meet the partner if we go to graduation. It's up to them whether, or how much, to stay in touch after that.
