Volcano Thanksgiving 2007

An incredibly delicious Thanksgiving was had by all in beautiful Volcano, California. A big thanks to Doreen for her gracious hospitality.........she's the best!


Doreen, the Russel, Ginger, Jenna, Jolene and Elsa......the most fun in one little town.

Local boy Matt joined in the festivities, along with Jenna and proud mom Jolene.

And the dogs were all on their best behavior, Camber, Sparks and Booji. Lovin' life on the top of the mountain...


And no Thanksgiving would be special without a tour of Volcano, population 101. We ventured into town to visit Elsa at the St. George Hotel, and to also "do the sights" (don't blink, you might miss the town).

A Year of Guide Dog Puppies...

So many cute puppy pictures, so little time. Whether it's the new Guide Dog pups being socialized here in San Rafael, on one of their many puppy adventures with their raisers, or traveling along with the puppy trucks, here are some fun pics of our GDB pups in action. And stay tuned for more...

"Blakemore" making his debut, socializers loving the pups, "Max" during his first photo shoot...

"Charmie" greeting the world, more pups in action...

Lee and Stevie in Oregon, "Beckham," Ian and "Donnalee" in Goleta, "Tango" in Fresno, "Cosgrove" working on his tan...

"Heaven" at Hartford Family Winery, "Boomer" in costume, "Andera" and "Gucci" napping, "Garfield" all dressed up.



Our Puppy Trucks travel to 8 western states, delivering new pups to their raisers, and picking up dogs returning to one of our campuses to begin their official guide dog training.
