An Update...YEY!

So here we go. Indiana is doing MUCH better. He gave us all a scare. He had to go to the vet and we were on pins and needles for a week until the test results came in. He is all good now. He was on a couple medications and seems fine now. He is at my RC house for a week on a switch so I am dogless which is a very weird feeling...I havent been dogless since the short break I took between Yellsea and Mork. Indiana is a good boy. He got hormones for Christmas so we are combatting with those and his "Im not listening stage" but overall he is doing well with his commands. He comes to work with me almost everyday and is doing great playing with other dogs and practicing commands with dog distractions while off leash (in a fenced yard obviously). he is pretty good at all the basics but we are still working on some of the harder ones. He wil be 10 months old this month. WOW! Here are some pictures that were taken January 23rd at work. When I get him back I will post more recent pictures. Promise.

Now for the Glacier news: As you all know Glacier was released from GEB's Training program after completing her fianl phase of training and aiting to be matched with a graduate. Her darn medicals had caught up with her and she couldnt go anyfarther with us BUT because her medicals were not too severe she was accepted into the Canadian Guide Dog training program. They are going to switch her food which should take care of her issues. She and her roommate Yasha also raised in my region and released the same week headed up to Canada to be evaluated for thier guide dog program. I am so excited. She is a great girl and her trainer at GEB was so pleased with her work pattern and guide ability so I am glad taht she still has a chance to be able to put her skills to use. I havent heard any news yet on how she is doing but no news is good news at this point. They have a "graduation" that all puppy raisers are invited to attend. I hear it is a ton different then our graduations. It is more like a formal tea party type get together where raisers meet the graduates but I am not totally sure how it works. I will keep you updated on her when I hear. Good Luck Girls!!

In other news...I don't know if I offically said anything but Glacier's Sister Gretchen raised by my RC was accepted into GEB's breeding program and had her first litter on December 22nd. They were the G408 litter with 6 girls and 4 boys. We have one of her puppies now being raised by Westons raiser. His name is Galaxy. He is a tiny black lab and oh so cute. Another Glacier sibling BrookLynn is also a breeding dog for her school and had her first litter on January 8th. They are also the G litter. How cool is that!! They are wicked cute too!! Jeanette, Indiana's half sister, went in for her IFT at the end of January and is being looked at by the heads of GEB to become a Breeder for the program. I think that is it for news.
