Lots of big news around the North Pinellas group since last
week. We’ve placed two new pups in our group. Gail is being raised
by Michele and Roger Reese as first time raisers. Gail is a Golden
Retriever female pup from the Birmingham area. I hope the Reese’s are
using their southern drawl during this transition so that there’s not a
language barrier. Hope you are enjoying the sleepless night, Reese
family. Eventually the dogs do sleep through the night.
The second new pup we have in the group is Katy. Katy
is being raised by Sue Urbach who recently migrated to the North group from the
Tampa group. She’s an experienced raiser with two Guide Dog schools under
her belt. Katy is also a female Golden Retriever pup, but is not a litter
mate of Gail’s.
Also, we’ve received word that we have two of our dogs in
class right now. Kenny, the oversized train wreck, that my family had the
pleasure of raising has been matched (after a record breaking 11 months IFT),
as has Jimbo, the pup that Frances Lucas raised. Jimbo is also in class
right now. I’m looking forward to puppy raiser day, and promise to
accentuate the good in Kenny! We will take lots of pictures.
Just a reminder that the next meeting is January 26th
at the 49th St Courthouse in Largo. This will be a joint
meeting with the South Group. Jen Gerrity will be coming up to do a
session on body language.
Also, if you have an older pup the good news (or bad news
depending on how you look at it) the March IFT dogs have been announced.
Our group does not have any being called back.
See you all then.
Carolyn and Sunny
