Well, it looks like our 8 week old black lab female has morphed into a 10 week old yellow lab female named "Stacy". And, no, we didn't bleach her!
We have been ask to take on a transfer dog. Sometimes guide dog raisers are unable to take care of a puppy for the full 12-16 months until the puppy is ready to go to college. Life happens, and Stacy needed a new home.
By all accounts, Stacy is a wonderful little girl. Stacy has already learned how to sit, and understands the command "do your business."
For those of you who haven't raised a guide dog, the "do your business" command allows a dog to relieve itself (go potty). Guide dogs are only allowed to relieve on command.
I'll admit I'm a little disappointed that we won't get to share in weeks 8-10 of the puppy's life. Puppies are just so much fun when they are tiny.
We meet Stacy on Sunday, 1/3/10. I'm looking forward to welcoming the wee beastie into my life.
