Yesterday Buddy was just worn out all day until we got to training class - the last session for the most recent puppy class. Each puppy received a bag of treats and toys. Most of our treats were gone before bedtime. Therefore, Buddy received a little less than his normal three cups of food that night. We did save the jerky because we had bigger plans for that.
Buddy is more himself today. We always hope he's going to act like he recognizes us or toys he has not seen for a week, etc., but he could care less. I guess that is part of the appeal of Labradors. I found this poem, actually called a prayer, for guide dog puppies. Here it is:
GUIDE PUPPY’S PRAYER
Lord, let us continue to help these puppies reach their full potential.
Thank you for guiding us to them and helping us lay a sturdy foundation that will serve them well.
And give us peace when it is time to let them go.
Help us focus on their future with their partner and the joy & independence that will result.
Let them grow and flourish as a team, and give them the same guidance you gave to us.
And Lord, Make a place in this world where disability does not have to be inability.
