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 Night In Helper's New Kennel
Last night Helper was great! She slept all night in her big kennel with no messes! These are bedtime pics. She loves her yellow Duck and used it as a pillow for part of the night. She is so cute flopped over the side of her bed with her head resting on the duck!
If you take a close look at Helper's right ear you will see that there appears to be green between her ear and her head. That is because CCI puts a green tatoo inside their ear flap for identification purposes before they send the puppies to their Puppy Raisers. Helper's tatoo reads 12018. The 12 means she was born in 2012 and the 018 means she was the 18th puppy born to CCI this year.

hmmmm-- what a good idea to put her food and water in the "spare space" of the kennel-- I wonder if that is why she had no messes....
