Just the Beginning...

Hey there! My name's Allison and about a month ago I became interested in being a Puppy Raiser for Southeastern Guide Dogs. My mom and I applied quickly because we heard it could be about six months before getting a puppy. We've always been interested in the program and have talked about doing this for quite a while. It became pretty real when we were contacted by our Area Coordinator! Last night we attended our second meeting and this Saturday we are having our Home Visit. All we know about our future puppy is that she's a girl, her parents are Sugar and Bentley, and that we pick her up on April 9th! My family couldn't be more excited, although I'm not sure I can say the same about my Yorkshire Terrier, Figaro. He met some puppies at the Obedience Training last night and he pretty much had a panic attack! 

Yup, this pretty much sums up his funny personality. And, yes, he *is* wearing pajamas. Don't ask.
Despite the wild look on his face, Figaro is one of the sweetest Yorkies ever. I know he will love and help the new puppy be the best she can be.

We'll be raising one of these sweet puppies for a year :)
