Finally #38

Somehow I skipped making a post about Guide Dog #37.  We only had him for a week.  He was an active guide being boarded but who preferred being in a home, as they all do!  It was way back in December when we had #37 so #38 was a welcome addition to our family.  He is 'pre-matched' which means that he has completed his training and they know the visually impaired person he will guide.  In July, I will take him back to the Guide Dog Campus where he will spend a week brushing up on his guiding skill before meeting his 'forever person'.  Then they will spend 2 weeks on campus learning to function as a team.
The first night he was here I discovered that he was fascinated by a commercial on TV that featured many different breeds of dog.  I was watching a show and petting his head when the commercial started and suddenly dogs appeared on screen.  It immediately caught and kept his attention. My neighbor told me that her dog also loves that particular commercial...and any dog food commercial.  Funny dogs!
We've only had him for 24 hours but so far we agree with the sentiments expressed in this cartoon.
#38 is definitely a 'Good Boy'!
