Each year Guide Dogs puts on an event to thank all of the puppy raising volunteers called Fun Day. This year we were able to attend with Raelyn and we all had a blast! We were able to meet 2 of Raelyn's 10 litter mates.

We also met the family who is the breeder keeper of Raelyn's mom that took care of her and her litter mates after they were born for a month. They told us that Raelyn was the favorite of the bunch as she was runt of the litter. Although she was the runt, she was always the one pushing everyone else out of the way and was always the "Queen of the Hill". That explains a lot! Apparently she was feisty, independent, and tough right from the beginning!

While we were there at the kennels, we obviously had to visit the ridiculously adorable puppies!
Which campus? San Rafael or Boring? My wife got her first Guide from San Rafael in 2001, and her second from Boring in 2006. She liked the Boring campus better.
ReplyDeleteOur pup "Wally" came from San Rafael.
We were at the San Rafael campus. We live an hour south, so it is much more convenient for us!
