KSDS, Last Days of School, etc.....

On the 15th I went to Kansas for my cousin's graduation. By chance my cousin lives in Washington, KS where KSDS is located. I decided to take a tour and had a lot of fun. They had some 8 week old puppies that were cute. They also have some resident cats there for training. They are very friendly cats.

^^^There's nothing like a puppy hug to make you feel better^^^

^^^After a lot of time trying to figure out what KSDS stands for I finally did! :D ^^^

Except they changed their name to KSDS a long time ago and it's just KSDS inc. now...

^^^ This is a really good picture I took in Kansas that I am pretty proud of :) ^^^

^^^MEADE^^^

I didn't get to take Meade to Kansas because I didn't think he would like a 14 hour car ride. So he went to stay with Gabby, a soon to be puppy raiser.

On a different note School is almost out and Meade is enjoying his last days at WHS. He has made a lot of friends there and has had a lot of fun. One of his favorite people in the world works there, my Drama teacher. He is in love with her and starts to wag like crazy every time he sees her. I know Meade will miss the school but tomorrow he is going to make his mark there. Tomorrow we get our yearbooks and he will even get to "sign" everybody's. I made him little labels with his name and picture so that no one will forget him.

Now for the 'etc' part of my post...

Marlowe, Mia and Mulder are all in phase 1 right now which means:

It's getting close to that time.......

As you may know I have had Meade for over a year now and he is 15 months old. Which means it's recall time. He has been on tentative recall for June 27th for about a month now but then we got news of an Oregon bound puppy truck needing more puppies for June 12 and my Meado got put onto that truck for sure. I only have less then three weeks with him.... but he is smart and loves to work and he will do great :D

Yes, I know.... I'm a terrible Blogger....

It's been two months since my last post......... I'm not that good at blogging........ :P

So anyway, nothing much has been going on lately. Meade and I went to Idaho to do a presentation for some cub scouts. That was ok. I guess. They were very quiet and I was didn't know if they were listening or not....

Another thing is I'm going to Kansas next month for my cousin's graduation and she just happens to live in Washington so when I'm there I'm gonna try to visit KSDS. I'm excited!

IWYPRSD

Today is IWYPRSD! It is my second one! The first one I didn't have a shirt, but this year I do! Over the summer I bought one from Mimi. I have been waiting for this day for a long time but........

I forgot my shirt at my dad's house last weekend!!! >:(

Happy Birthday to Meade!

:D Yup! Today is Meade's first birthday! He is now one year old! He also weighs 62.5 pounds!!!! He has been living with me for the past ten months! Wow..... time flies

Meade + Chocolate = Uh-oh!!!

The other day I was trying to get a good picture of Meade for my digital photo class..............

No, I didn't Photoshop them! (I wish my Photoshop skills were that good....... I can barely put David Archuleta's head on someone else and make it look good.) This is what my camera took and it looks like Meade is a genuine Chocolate Lab. If you have any clue why this happened could you please tell me? I'm very confused. Also, how do I submit pictures for GDB's Calendar? Thanks

Bye-Bye Patch!

Today I received and email from Guide Dogs saying that the Science Diet patches had to be removed! So I jumped on it and it is now GONE!!! =D

Now what do I do with the patch?

Service Animal Restrictions

I just got done reading Mandy's blog post about service animals. I thought it was a really good post and all her links were awesome! Now I am here to give my thoughts about service animals.

Firstly, I think psychiatric service animals are wonderful, to an extent. People feel the need to abuse service animals. For example, (this is a totally hypothetical thought) say someone with OCD went and got themselves an animal and trained it to calm them when they see some disorder, that is just not right.

Secondly, I think that all service animals should come from a legit service animal organization. If someone rescues an animal from the shelter and observes that the animal needs something to do with it's life they should make a job for them at home. You could have them fetch the newspaper, or pick up your baby's toys (for a nice cleaning) or you could even train them to turn on your electronic devices!

Thirdly, service animals should be a domesticated species. Dogs and mini horses fall into this category. I don't believe that monkeys should be used. I don't even think that monkeys should be kept as pets. And nobody had better play the "We evolved from monkeys". The fact is, we didn't! Genesis 1:26 and Genesis 2:7 should sum that up.

Fourthly, I think the U.S. Government should keep a record of all service animals. That should make rules and regulations that are consistent for the whole country. Shouldn't the government take care of it's people that are paying taxes to them? Even the disabled ones.

If you did read that whole thing I hope it didn't offend you in any way or for any reason. If it did I am turning on comment moderation and we can talk it out through email. I doubt it should but you never know.................

By the way, I am Christian. I do live in Utah but I am not LDS. Crazy, huh?
