JERRY!
Hello everyone! The worst blogger on the face of the planet has decided to show herself again. But she has a new puppy now!
I have been crazy busy the past month and a half that Jerry has been around, but I'm SO happy to have him! He's been lovely so far and I can't wait to share the next year with him. I've already fallen head over heels in love with the boy.
I drove to Oregon campus (a 7 hour drive from here) to pick up Jerry (black lab male) and Ajax (yellow lab male) in mid November. Ajax went to another family in our club and little Jerry got to come home with me! While at Guide Dogs I met with our CFR to go over some leader requirements. I'm working on becoming an assistant leader for our club since I'm already in charge of monthlies and scheduling meetings. My leader is awesome and I have known her ever since I have been part of the club. It's great getting to work with her and be even more involved in our club.
After I got home with Jerry, we were here for a few weeks and then we headed to Missoula to spend Christmas with my mom's family. Everyone up there fell in love with Jerry and he was an awesome traveler on yet another 7 hour drive. While we were there, we got to visit a fire station to deliver food on Christmas Day to the firemen on duty. They got to love on him and I got some good pictures!
That's all I've got for now. I know that I could go on and on and on about how amazing this puppy is. He's smart and fun and I already trust him off leash in the house at 14 weeks. So, instead of prattling on, I'll just post pictures!
