She is beautiful. I have an English that looks just like her, an 8 month old male we have named Oliver we are raising for Leader Dog for the Blind out of Rochester, Michigan. He is the fourth we have raised and once again, he is one of the loves of my life. Many people say they couldn't do what we do because they could not give them up. And raising them for a year and then giving them back is one of the very hardest things to do, but seeing a guide dog working, giving someone confidence and independence makes it all worthwhile. It is very rewarding to see a new owner love our puppy just as much as we did. Best wishes to you and Miss Meadow, may you have a long, blessed relationship.

We also have an English Lab - born March 29th of this year and her name is Molly. Our first Lab - and we just love her. Although she went thru a stage where I nicknamed her "Puddin' Brains". Are you raising Meadow to then become someone else's guide dog or will he be your own? I've often thought about volunteering to raise a guide dog.

We just received my husbands PTSD dog last thursday. He is not trained yet but will be training with my husband hopefully starting soon. I am so glad that you have such a handsome guy to help you.

I am so happy for you to have such a wonderful guide and companion. She is beautiful and Labs are wonderful. I'm sure you will have greater feelings of freedom and safety now that you have her.
God bless the both of you as He meets all our needs...

Actually me because I still have sight and I need to learn to trust him to take me where it is safe to travel. I am doing great though. My trainer says that I am leaps and bounds ahead of anyone else that she has trained.
