We welcomed a new little clown to our pack, Tucker. He's 4.5 mo now, was raised in a kennel-so absolutely no house manners when he arrived..I now know why theyre called ankle biters😂he's really learned so much in the 2wks he's been here! Wonderful Maltese personality, he makes sure everyone loves and notices him lol. Hailey absolutely loves him, teaching him as she does with all the babies 💖

We got the gang a "Jolly Ball" for Xmas,it was so nice out today they got it early!
Sadie was turned away vets for her spay Tues.. I was told the end of Oct she needed to lose 10 #, well, she only lost 5 ! I'll get her running those fields for her appt in Feb...
The 10in "Jolly Ball" is indestructible. They put about 500 holes in it today and it still looks good. Definitely recommend it for ball crazy GSDs! 😂😂

Another Beautiful Fall Season has passed by, we're busy getting ready for the winter chill 🥶
I wanted to let everyone who has a Sadie pup know that Sadie now has an allergy to chicken. We were told a pup from the E litter has food allergies, and a pup from H Litter had the itches/red belly. We changed Sadie over to Lamb and Rice food, as the pups parents did, and all are doing great!! We were told by the vet I was using at the time I noticed Sadie scratching that she caught something from the barn cats. The poor girl went through so many unnecessary baths!!
If your pup has the itches and your feeding chicken based food, it's as simple as changing the food. I use Diamond Naturals Lamb and Rice. I also noticed on many of the FB GSD boards that chicken allergies are becoming common among GSDs. Chicken is the 1st elimination when allergies are suspected.

Interesting Read 😁 Origin of Guide Dogs

This is a black and white photo of Morris Frank and Buddy disembarking from a ship. It is thanks to Morris’s efforts that guide dog handlers are permitted the same right to travel as anyone else.

On November 5, 1927, the Saturday Evening Post published an article written by Dorothy Harrison Eustis about a dog training program she had visited in Potsdam, Germany, where dogs – called “blind leaders” – were being trained to guide blinded veterans of World War I. Dorothy, a breeder and trainer of German shepherds, was initially skeptical that dogs could be trained to guide a blind person. But she came away a believer.

After the article was published, she received numerous letters from people who were blind, asking for guide dogs. A letter from a 19-year-old college student and traveling salesman named Morris Frank stood out:

“Is what you say really true? If so, I want one of those dogs! And I am not alone. Thousands of blind like me abhor being dependent on others. Help me and I will help them. Train me and I will bring back my dog and show people here how a blind man can absolutely be on his own.”

Dorothy, who was born in Philadelphia, was living in Switzerland at the time. She told Morris she would train a dog for him – if he could get to Switzerland.

“Mrs. Eustis,” Morris replied, “to get back my independence, I’d go to hell!”

But it was no easy task for a person who was blind to travel from the United States to Switzerland in 1928. He booked passage on a ship, not as a passenger, but as a “package.” Kept locked in his room except when escorted by a member of the crew, Morris said he felt like a prisoner.

“At ten, he exercised me as if I were a horse, methodically trotting me around the deck,” Morris wrote in First Lady of The Seeing Eye. “Then he deposited me in a steamer chair. If some friendly passenger invited me to take a stroll, we got only a few feet before my keeper ran up breathless, grasped my elbow, and steered me to my seat again where he’d keep an eye on me.”

Morris never forgot what it felt like to be treated like cargo. “The experience angered and frustrated me and made me all the more determined to undergo any hardship to overcome dependency on others,” Morris wrote.

After being matched with Buddy and returning to the United States, Morris would spend the next 50 years not just promoting Seeing Eye dogs, but advocating for the right of a person with a guide dog to go anywhere a member of the public is allowed to go.
