Channing
Yesterday we received our first Guide Dogs for the Blind puppy-in-training. His name is Channing,and he's a yellow Labrador Retriever. He has a lighter colored stripe on his side. It reminds me of a tiger stripe. He still learning, but I think that he's going to turn out to be a great guide dog someday. This is a picture of Me,Erin(my co-raiser), and Channing.

Co-raising
When I get my puppy I'm going to co-raise with another puppy raiser for Guide Dogs for the Blind named Erin. Co-raising is where you have the pup for part of the time and the other raiser has it the rest of the time. An advantage to co-raising with Erin is that she can do things like take the pup on buses, socialize to traffic, etc. that we can't do because I have younger siblings.
So if you have any question just put them in my comments and I'll answer them.

YMCA Camp Outing
Every so often my local puppy raising club goes places with the dogs as a group. Some times raisers will go to a school or community events to share about raising puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind.
On Thursday, I joined a couple puppy raisers at the YMCA summer camp to talk to the kids about puppy raising. We answered question, let them pet the dogs, and they helped with training. One girl said that she thought that only adults could raise Guide Dog puppies. I told her that kids nine years old and up could do it too.I had a lot of fun!
