I am a first time volunteer Puppy Raiser for Canine Companions for Independence (CCI). This wonderful organization has been providing Service Dogs, Facility Dogs, Hearing Dogs and Skilled Companions to people in need since 1975. My job for the next 18 months is to socialize, train and prepare the puppy (Helper II) in my care to successfully enter advance training in Oceanside California. I have started this blog to document our journey together.

First Vet Visit-Lazy Paws in Frisco
One of the most important responsibilities a PR has is to ensure that the puppy gets great health care. My Vet of choice is Lazy Paws in Frisco...they are wonderful! I have been taking my cats (Max and Stoli) to Dr. Hunter and Dr. Bilhartz for several years and I would not have trusted anyone else with Helper's care. The pic above is Helper's first visit with Vet Tech Tammy. Dr. Hunter started her series of shots and she got weighed. It is very important for a service dog to maintain a healthy weight. Today she weighed 18 pounds. She did great!
