Meet Hadley

We have joined a group of local Guide Dog puppy raisers called “Puppy Pilots,” a group of adults who take on the early training stages of pups for Guide Dogs for the Blind. Raisers teach pups the good behavior needed for a career as a guide, acclimating them to a broad array of situations and environments. Hadley is the newest pup to come to Puppy Pilots. She is 10 weeks old, very smart, and sweet as can be.

We are “sitters” for Puppy Pilots. Pups will stay with us from time to time. But it’s more than a bed and biscuit gig. Like Hadley, we’re learning the ropes to grow a good canine citizen and are training, too. I plan to follow little Hadley as she learns the ropes and progresses to a possible career as a guide dog.

Theme Day: Brown

For today’s City Daily Photo theme of the color brown I present a pair of my favorite local Shire horses, a British breed of draught horse used in farming. There’s a small herd of these horses here that are used as plow horses and they rarely fail to catch my eye. They’re big and gorgeous.
