Foster Dogs

Remember naughty boy Ace? The toilet paper playing, remote control chewing foster dog we loved for a couple of weeks.......

Ace is now officially a Guide Dog for the Blind....he graduated while we were in Africa and is guiding a lucky guy in California.  We are so happy and so proud!  I knew the toilet paper, remote control episode was just a little blip on his resume!
We have had seven foster guide dogs so far.  Jordana and Howie were our two senior citizen, retired guides.  Tad was the near perfect active guide who just had a short 'vacation' with us. Brock and Cloud were career changed because of health issues.  That means they won't be working Guide Dogs but are much loved pets. Both of them went back to their 'puppy raiser' home.  And Stan and Ace actually graduated and are now companions and guides to two visually impaired people.  There are many things we love about living in Oregon but our association with Guide Dogs for the Blind is near the top of our list!
