So, we've decided to raise puppy # 4 for CCI

One of the things we work on is getting the dogs comfortable around statues, large objects, etc...

There’s a store in Ames that has lots of large stuffed animals.

I see a relative came to visit in the first photo.

Seems the dog past al the tests.
Can we say that about you Mark ???

I like the one with you and Lucas. You do look good in a red & white striped hat.

Wow, I haven’t keep up with this thread very well.

I just returned from Kansas City after dropping Lucas off with his new puppy raiser. Long story short, National office changed his turn-in date from November to February 2020. We’ve given him all the training and experiences that we can in Ames. Another PR was in desperate need of a dog, so we made a plan change to give Lucas the best opportunity to become a service animal.

The house is empty and I miss the little knucklehead, but know he’s getting great new experiences. This is always the toughest part.

Ahhh and I was just about to visit him. Good Luck Lucas.

Now I have NO reason to go to Iowa.

That dog is like "what the hell man?"

Good looking pup. I could never do what you do with those dogs. Too hard to give up to someone else.
Great job raising him to be a good help to someone.
