After dropping BRAXTON, MOSBY, and HUDSON; along with their new friend, COLLIER (more on him in a minute) off in Wilmington, and participating in some ITT alongside some other clients, I had one puppyless night before adding a few more to the crew.
First, COLLIER. Kinda one of the cutest little dudes you ever saw. FIN and I drove a long 5 1/2 hours each way to meet in Gatlinburg, TN to pick up this guy. While I typically hate driving, especially for long amounts of time, I can't complain about the gorgeous view this ride provided, as well as the added bonus of no cell service for the majority of the trip.

Unfortunately, COLLIER only got to hang out with us for a day, but we certainly enjoyed having him. We took our trip on Monday, went to Wilmington for Tuesday and Wednesday, and then on Friday picked up sweet Gracie, from
Goodwinds Labs, who is just here on vacation; and GRANT, who was donated by
Parrish's Labs into our Service Dog Training Program. Brace yourself for the overload of pics because this is one special boy and he works the camera.

THEN, because two more in the house wasn't enough, on Saturday I went and picked up four more precious babies from Charlotte! I'm most excited about watching these four really blossom in our program. They came from living in an outdoor pen, and now it is our job to expose them to the world. In just a few short days I can already see such a difference in their personalities. All four LOVE people and attention, but a lot of the rest of the world is still a little scary for them. No worries, our training program is designed to overcome that in the most scientifically sound and proven way possible. Without further adieu, let me introduce you to WALLIS, HARRIS, STERLING, and CONNELLY!
