(Nearly) Wordless Wednesday: Guide Dog Puppy Drexel at Almost 6-Months Old



I love fuzzy puppy faces.

"Is this photo shoot about over? I'm tired!"

Drexel helping me with the piano pedals.  He also started dusting (notice the wet spots where he licked the piano), but obviously didn't finish the job. I'm mortified my piano was so dusty.

Thanks for a sweet puppy.

    Good pics! He is adorable! Reminds me of my love for my own puppy (okay, she's not a puppy anymore but she'll always be my baby).

    Precious photos of a sweet dog.

    How is Drexel's training progressing? What adventures have you taken with him?

      My main job as a puppy raiser is to help Drexel become well-socialized and well-behaved. He's doing fine so far. He goes with us practically everywhere; he's been to stores, banks, doctor's offices, church, restaurants, etc. We also have outings with other puppy raisers; we'll be attending a Hollywood Bowl performance later this summer, for example.

    He is absolutely adorable!! I have such a soft spot for labs.

    Just curious...how do you manage his shedding?

    Take care!

      I'm afraid I don't have a miracle answer--I just brush Drexel, vacuum my house, and carry a lint roller!

    Wonderful pictures of a wonderful nose! I just love yellow labs! I think what you do is just wonderful but I don't know if I could let them go! I know I could, I would just cry a lot afterwards! Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened.

Ten Things of Thankful: Last Two Weeks

  Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another

Monday Mentions: Equate Crutches

Have you ever needed crutches? I hadn't, until a week ago.  I'm pretty sure I strained a muscle while running a half-marathon.  (That sounds kind of cool, doesn't it? I'm not actually that cool; the last time I strained a muscle it was from carrying too many shopping bags at once.) In any case, I found myself in need of some crutches. I sent my husband to the store to get some. Photo: A pair of crutches leans against a wall  Not that crutches are all that complex, but because I hadn't used any before, I wondered if I could figure out how to adjust them to fit me properly. I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this
