The Truman Show Begins

The Truman Show begins, that is, with an ensemble cast. I know you’re all dying to see a picture, so without further ado…ladies and gentlemen, meet the “T” litter:


From left to right: Thatcher, Trooper, Tia, Tori, Tai, and Truman (that’s right, this is a very important litter, containing both a president and a prime minister)

A closer view of the South Bay T-Dogs (Tai, Truman and Tia):

And then one of the man himself, beloved Truman:

Of course there are stories to tell, but they’ll have to wait for tomorrow, because I’m tired. Truman is sleeping in the crate right next to me, and if I expect to get in some shut-eye before he emits his first “take me to pee!” noises, I’d better jump into bed now.

"T" Minus 24 Hours and Counting

This time tomorrow, I will be sitting through my first official “puppy orientation” speech at GDA, squirming and fidgeting in anticipation of the appearance of Truman.

And his brother Tai, being raised by Matt & Amy.

And his sister Tia, being raised by the family who raised Guide Dog Harvey.

Homework

The countdown continues! In just three days, I’ll once again hear the patter of little…toenails and ID tags?…in my apartment.

I’ve been attending puppy kindergarten and finishing up the last of my “puppy preparedness plan,” which could be more accurately described as my “good reason to clean the apartment and get rid of unnecessary crap.”

Meanwhile, since there’s not much I can write about a dog I don’t yet have, I thought you might enjoy learning a little about another famous Truman.

The Truman Show Begins March 9th!

Lomax’s news had to come first, of course, because we have worked and I have prayed so hard for this day; he deserves his recognition.

But I thought you might also like to hear that on March 9th, I’ll be picking up little Truman, another male yellow Lab, who will be my next puppy-in-training for GDA.

And finally, to add to the joy of Lomax graduating with his brother Liam, I’m also thrilled to announce that I will once again be raising littermates with Liam’s raisers, my dear friends Matthew and Amy, who have started their own blog (“Growin’ Up Guide“). Truman and his brother Tai will no doubt be fast friends.

Stay tuned for the Truman Show!
