What, a new puppy is coming?
Yep! Thats the "exciting news" I couldnt tell you guys in my last post; since I thought it deserved to have its very own post.
When I filled out the application to receive another puppy, I was told that it would most likely be mid November. I attended a puppy meeting the end of September, and a trainer from Southeastern Guide Dogs was there, so I decided to go ahead and ask, since my sponsors were wanting to know when Id be getting the puppy. She said that didnt have many puppies at the moment, and any they will have, are going to people that have been waiting since LAST November for one. She said they would be having quite a few litters in January/February - and our group will most likely be getting some of those.
So Ive been thinking I wouldnt have a puppy till 2012; but then I received an email last week, asking if Id like to raise a male yellow lab, which I could get the end of THIS month (October).
Evidently the placement fell through and the puppy didnt have a raiser, since it was such last minute; all the raisers on the waiting list werent prepared to get a puppy in just a few weeks.
I jumped at the chance, and Im now looking forward to receiving my 5th guide dog puppy on Sunday October 30th (in the evening).
Im still looking for a co-sponsor to help with the in home care of the puppy; so please pray that Ill be able to find one soon!
I will be heading to the State Fair tomorrow with all my dairy goats; and when I get back (with lots of ribbons!) Im going to be getting ready for a PUPPY.
Hopefully Ill be finding out his name soon; but Im still trying to decide if I should tell you guys the name right away - or make it a "guessing game" - your thoughts?
Once the new puppy gets here, this blog will start being updated more often (really, it will!) AND I will start visiting you guys/leaving comments... dont think that Ive abandoned you :)
