My little red tether is my anchor in running with my friends. A beautiful guide dog has been my tether/anchor in mobility and independence for 17 years: 1. Pantera 2. Cricket, and now my beautiful 3. Georgina (Georgie). A life of family and friends is my joy and anchor in life.

Happy 3 Month Anniversary, Georgie Girl

Today marks three months since Georgie Girl and I became a team.  I adore this sweet girl.  I love her spunk.  I love her energy.  I love how she sits right by my feet while I am at the computer.  I love her joy of working as a guide.  I love how she gets so excited and then searches for just the right bone to present to someone as her offering of love.  I love that I could tell her when entering the grocery store - Find Kendall and she knows who Kendall is now and looked until she found him.   We are learning about each other.   Yesterday we had our third pedicure since becoming a team :).  She turns right into the aisle for the Diet Coke at the Convenience Store near our office.  She even has become my little alarm when the end of an hour session is up at the office.  Each of my guides have special places in my heart.  She has wiggled her way into a very special place.  I'm excited for the adventures that we will share together.

For some reason this little sidewalk has been giving Georgie Girl some concerns.  Thank you to GDB and the support center. They have given me some great training tips that helped tremendously.  Today she walked up this sidewalk with all the confidence in the world.  
Laughed at these two - looking a bit sad on a Monday morning.  They were hanging close while I get ready in the morning.  As I type this, Cricket is off for a long walk with Kendall :) and Georgie is at my feet.

Here's to many, many years together Sweet Georgie Girl.  Next week she will have her first major outing as we fly to Washington, DC for family visiting and adventures!
