Just placed another order with Jeff, at Grateful Shed, for more deer antlers. If you haven't tried them, yes...expensive, but they last forever and the dogs just chew and chew and chew. The best all-natural chew in my opinion. Try them!!!!!

Dogs love to lay on the deck and watch me work... This week's handsome guest Lab is Buddy, a service dog. We like to make each meal a bit special by topping their kibble with something. Found out Buddy does NOT like peas or tomatoes. He thinks our pups are so weird when they gobble them down.

Today is World Farm Animals Day, a day dedicated to honoring the animals that inhabit our farms. Farms and their animal residents play a crucial role in our customization training program here at the Guide Dog Foundation. We often work with clients who either live on farms, frequently visit them, or reside in areas where their new guide dog teams may encounter wild animals of similar size to farm animals.
As an integral part of our customization training, we take these clients and their new guide dogs to farms. This hands-on experience allows them to become familiar with how to effectively work with their guide dogs in a farm setting, where they interact with various farm animals, including donkeys, cows, chickens, and more. 🐷🐔🐴

Just like old times.... The dogs outnumber the residents by 3+ times. Three blacks, three yellows and a golden. Here they are watching and waiting for their dinners....and for the kitchen door to open! Mad rush, but oh so polite. I call their name, touch their head, and they know it's their dinner I'm putting on the floor for them. Everyone else backs off, waiting their turn. No one went after anyone else's food. Such good dogs!

Happy Labor Day weekend for all those who are still laboring.

National Dog Bite Awareness Week

Thousands of postal employees were attacked by dogs last year, but that pales in comparison to the 4.5 million Americans attacked each year. The Postal Service continues its tradition of calling attention to this public health issue.

Joe Hinton is long distance transport driver volunteer with the Guide Dog Foundation and our sister organization, America's VetDogs. At GDF & VetDogs we have many different volunteer opportunities available - there's something for everyone!

“Cpl Scherer's family told me they raised funds every year to sponsor future service dogs through America's VetDogs. To date, Team Chris has sponsored well over twenty dogs. Having learned of this wonderful partnership, I knew in my heart, both as a dog lover and veteran myself, that America's VetDogs is an amazing organization for which I would be proud to serve as a volunteer." - Joe

Rotating your dog's diet can help lengthen their life. I don't necessarily switch from kibble brand to kibble brand often, but i do reduce the kibble amount and add extras. They might include canned green beans (or fresh), yams, leftover chicken, broccoli (careful, can create gas), cottage cheese, yogurt, broth, salad greens, zucchini, cukes, apples, (no citrus, no grapes or raisins), bananas, carrots.... If at first a dog thumbs his nose at fruit and veggies, i water down a bit of canned dog food and drizzle it over the food like a gravy. Only the pickiest, will pick out what they don't like and leave it on the floor for you, but eventuallly they usually change their mind.

Diet rotation can be a safer way to feed your dog. Here are The Dog Food Advisor's best advice for using this important feeding method.

Arne took a few photos when he fed the dogs this morning. All so well behaved and polite, never going after another dog's food and waiting patiently till every dog finished before getting their carrot for dessert.

*** uPDATE: ADOPTED! ***
My name is Lanse - my two sisters, AuClaire, Tickles and I were given up by a family that just had too many dogs. She was trying to sell us - but was not having much luck. She doesn't have any papers for us - so we don't know if we are all lab - even though she says so. These great folks at NYSRR came and got us - we are now in Louisiana but should be coming to New York real soon!

Bobby wanted to see if Sue, their recently adopted Lab, would recognize and be happy to see him after their eleven-day trip to Italy. If there was any doubt that "love is in the air" and she had totally bonded with him and his family, this is proof! What joy! My eyes were tearing up just witnessing it.

Guessing this is a golden. So typical!

I feel like an ad for FreshPet, but dogs are highly recommending it. Found it in a separate fridge at Costco, $21 and change for 6 lbs, 20 cups worth of food. Opened the bag and all the dogs came running! It smelled great! I have two fussy eaters here and both loved it!

Our retired guide dog, Jackee, just turned 15! Adopted her when she was 11 years old, released from working due to seizures. Never thought we'd be so blessed as to have her this many years. Reduced pills from 2 a day to 3 a week. Hasn't had a seizure in almost ten months. You go girl!
