Today is a day puppy raisers never look forward to, recall day. Mojito was being recalled early so they could fly him up to the Oregon Campus and start his training. I was very excited that Mojito was going to Oregon and that he even got to fly! Mojito was in the recieving kennel Monday and Tuesday and I heard he was stressed out a little bit, but for the most part did really well. When we were pulling into GDB this morning he recognized it and was getting excited as he thought he was going to get to go in the kennel and play for the day and I would pick him up on my lunch and take him home at night, he thought wrong. I checked him in and we walked to kennel 3 and I walked in with him and the water works began, Mojito the past few months has made leaps and bounds and has really turned into a nice dog that I loved having around. So you can imagine after all the hard work and dedication I put into him and seeing the end result, leaving him in the kennel for good was awful, I think he could tell I was upset because he kept coming up to me in the kennel box and giving me kisses and wanting me to pet him. I was in there about 15 min with him and was already running late to start my internship so I gave him one last big hug and kiss and wished him luck and I shut the kennel door and left. The hardest part, walking away & knowing you might never see this dog again.

| Puppies in the Kennels! |
My host family that I am staying with during my 2 weeks here are just the best! They are always making me feel welcome, and when they get home from work they are taking me around town and showing me around. I really could not have asked for a better place to stay!
Last night they took me on a dinner picnic to Angel Island, where I got to enjoy a gorgeous view of San Francisco and the Golden Gate. The bay area is just so beautiful, I am in love down here and would move here in a heart beat! We also celebrated Mojito's last outing with me as a puppy in training as he was going in for training today!

Mojito in the kennels, looking at me while I was locking his kennel like "why you gotta leave me here again, but I guess I'll see you in a few hours." Good luck Mo-Mo make me proud I am proud to be called your puppy raiser, you sure did give me a challenge throughout the past year but we worked through it and I could not be any more proud of how you turned out!

Good Luck Mojito! He'll definitely make you super proud.
I was looking at Ryder's little stats bar over to the side and notice that his siblings haven't been updated. I thought I'd let you know just in case you didn't. Rumor is a breeder, Royalty was CC'd for hip dysplasia, but all the others are working Guides!
Awwww, big hugs. I bet that was so incredibly hard to put him in the kennel and walk away.
Good luck Mojoto! Scooter gets turned in on Sunday, so I blubbered through this post :-) It's hard, but I can't wait to see what life they choose!
Thank you for keeping us updated. We are raising a puppy for GDB, and it is very interesting to discover what goes on during the other aspects of their training.
