September is National Guide Dog Month!

Let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible work that goes into training Leader Dogs and the independence they bring to those who are visually impaired.

Here's a fun question to test your knowledge: What are the three main types of obstacles a Leader Dog in training works on?

A) High, low, medium

B) Offset, high, partial

C) Partial, overhead, full

D) Full, low, medium

 Let's celebrate the dedication and hard work of guide dogs and their trainers during National Guide Dog Month!

They are standing on black Tactile dots on a residential sidewalk.

Love you Happehazard.

♤: Mom gave me some fries! And then she took me shopping, IDK why that is fun, I hate it. Thr makeup store was fun though, I liked all the smells.

☆: Considerinvesting you were nearly asleep in TJ Maxx I'd say you are getting lazy but you've always been like that, especially when I'm standing in one place for a while. 

♤: I only got a toy out of our several hour trip. *pouts*

What a Week (aug 25-sept2)

♤= Happe

☆= Katie

☆: We spent last week in Michigan going to a wedding, hanging out in Grand Haven, and seeing family/ friends. The week didn't start great, we arrived just as a tornado watch was issued and didn't get our bag for 2.5 hours because of the weather, so we didn't get to my parents till 1:30 in the morning. The next day we went to Grand Haven, Happe has never been to Grand Haven so that was stressful for him.

♤: and she didn't give me enough treats.

☆: You always think that, Foodie.

☆: The next day was my cousins wedding .⅝

♤: and frizbees!

☆: Which was a nice wedding. I got meet my 2  yo cousin (he's my cousins kid). It was pretty uneventful after that.

♤: you dragged me to the beach three times after that and made me get my paws wet. Uneventful indead!

☆: coming home we had an hour delay but that was it. Now we are back in Massachusetts chilling on the sofa.
