The week is flying by - so much to share! I arrived at San Rafael Sunday to begin my two week class at Guide Dogs for the Blind. I have a wonderful class of seven others who are here for their next guides as well. As you can imagine we were all very excited for dog day on Monday.
On Monday I was introduced to my next guide: GEORGINA - a sweet, 57 pound yellow lab. She is amazing! Our days here are very busy as we become a team. As we have walked the streets of San Rafael I just can't stop smiling! It is beautiful and hard to believe we have only been together since Monday! She is here by my feet chewing happily on a bone. I am so touched and inspired by all who have come together to create the Becky and Georgina Team! As we have started the day, I have been singing - Hey there Georgie Girl let's go 'swinging down the street so fancy free.'
The journeys of Becky, blind from retinitis pigmentosa, and her beauitiful guide dogs.

Oh my goodness - chills as I read this because I get to see "the other side" ~ even though I am puppy raising for a different organization, the feelings of a match are the same. When I read this, I cheered for you AND Georgina's puppy raiser. How incredibly blessed they are to have YOU matched with "their" puppy. Big Hugs as you continue this journey. I am excited for your next post, and the next, and the next =)
We can't wait to meet her. Love from your Oregon friends. xoxo
