Hello all,
It was one week ago today I arrived here on a cool, Saturday morning,
unsure of what the future held in regards to my next dog. I was full of
questions--can I really move on from Phil, will my new dog be able to do
this or that as good as Phil, what will he/she look like, etc.
Uncertainty let to anxiety. Only five days ago I received Navajo, a
marvelous dog who works so hard at everything he does; he's intelligent,
loving, determined, and always ready to work.
This morning we completed our first solo trip in town with ease. He
worked flawlessly. He moved with grace and determination as if he had
been guiding for years. I am so proud of him and no that he really gave
it his all and hit a home run.
The rest of the day we had off from training. We went on about a half of
a mile walk in the afternoon around the school and then took a long knap.
I did find out today that he is 26 inches tall at the shoulders (by far
the tallest dog I've ever had), he weighs 74 lbs, and was born February
18, 2009. Friday he will be two years old!
We again have a day to rest tomorrow and then will be back to training
on Monday. It is good to have a little down town to catchup from this
first week.
Anyways, I'll write again soon!
