Guide Dog Puppy....Heather.

Heather was the 1st Guide Dog puppy i walked.
From 11wks old till she was 13 months.These are some pictures of her,right up to the last pictures that were taken of her at Forfar Guide Dogs Training Centre on 23/10/07.She is 17mths old now.
Lets hope she makes it.

I am now walking my second pup "Jody",so i guess the next video will be all about her.
She is a little heartbreaker too.

Oh my gosh...my heart is breaking...tears are running down my face...I know that these pups have to go on to do their job, but how HARD must it possibly be to say 'goodbye'??? Does it get easier the more you do it?

I wish I could say it does get easier,but I would be telling you lies.Everytime I watch my video's about my girls it breaks my heart,but I remind myself why I do it.

To know that i have played a small part in hopefully raising a fully qualified Guide Dog,that will enable a blind or partialy sighted person to have more freedom,independance and feel more confident makes it all worth while.

One of my friends is blind and to see the bond between her and her dog,and the difference her girl makes.

i really wish these stories were actually journals - i.e. vlogging about the process... the video is of course beautiful... but i'd love to know more :) - i'm visually impaired myself and i have several friends with guide dogs so know just how amazing they can be. glad you're doing this :)

god im sitting here crying with my guide dog Moss licking my face, Since ive had Moss hes changed my life but it must be so hard to let these dogs go. He has his own site on facebook called my guide dog moss. I would just personally like to thank you as a puppy walker for changing the lives of people like me in all that you are doing. x

We are raising our 1st guide dog Farah. She is 6 mo. old now and it's going to be so difficult to give her up, but when I see Farah in her harness- it will be so worth it. This video makes me teary! Thank you and all the other guide dog puppy raisers!
