Puppy walking

An adventure in looking after a puppy until it is old enough to be properly trained as a guide dog for the blind.

June 29
Still no quarterly update but I expect it soon. A neighbour who watched Rockwell grow up and read the blog thinks she saw him working in harness out in Manotick the other day! She had gone out there to check out the new Giant Tiger store and saw a yellow Lab-ish looking dog being trained. He was in harness and she said he looked beautiful and very smart, although apparently, he was sniffing the shelves.

In the Ottawa Citizen a few days ago, there was a story about the 600th graduate of Canadian Guide Dogs in Manotick. It was accompanied by a lovely photo of Opus, the 600th grad. I couldn't find a link to the story with the photo in the Citizen but did find a link through Google News.

And if you are craving pix of puppies (especially yellow Labs) like I am, go here for a lovely slide show.

Hooray for yellow dogs! That MUST have been Rockwell. I've been hoping for an update on him!

I was looking for some other photo and so went through ALL the old photos we have of Rockwell - boy he was cute. I sure hope he's doing well. But still no update. We need more about Truman (the leetle devil).

I too think the same.
