Text of the page (random words):
t so sure how katrina would do because she s never gone on a walk that long she was great with the loud noises from the freeway and traffic downtown we saw some dogs lots of bicyclists and runners she was great i m working on her pulling with the flat collar so all the distractions were a great opportunity for some practice at the meeting we practiced being more random with our movements on walks like suddenly changing directions or stopping we practiced that a bit and it seemed to work once we were in downtown katrina was absolutely exhausted i don t blame her it was a beautiful hot day and the floor of the restaurant we were in was nice and cool i was pretty sure she was not up for an equally lengthy and hot walk back home so my brother came and picked us up katrina was pretty happy about that back at home and after katrina took a nice hour long nap we went into the backyard to work with the gentle leader the back yard has always been off limits with katrina as a young pup she would eat everything on the ground and the grass and tanbark was just too tempting but she seems to have gotten over the if it fits in my mouth its food yum dirt stage i put her gl on and took out a tug toy and she was thrilled to be running around in the previously forbidden backyard this was a big step for katrina normally the second the gl goes on she plops down and sulks we played for a good 10 minutes racing all up and down the yard we practiced some off leash come too i got her so excited that when i picked up her leash and said let s go she didn t even notice the gl on her face so i just continued walking up our street and voila she was finally walking with the gl above katrina smells the flowers in the garden i didn t want to push her too far so our walk of victory was over in about 30 seconds but i am hopeful well there is my story of katrina s success today she s such a sweet girl sometimes it s hard to notice her stubborness but it s there today i think we got one step closer to tolerating the gl stay tuned above katrina on a walk katrina hopes everyone is enjoying the summer weather lauren and katrina posted by lauren at 6 25 pm 4 comments saturday april 28 2012 catch up post 1 outings photoshoot and more i love this dog so much katrina and i have been very busy lately she s changed a lot since i picked her up at 14 weeks but she still has the same loving personality she is a total cuddlebug and very people oriented to sum up what katrina and i have been doing 1 katrina got over her doggy fears she used to shy away from dogs in public but not anymore she s still pretty scared in group play but our cfr said that wasn t the biggest concern 2 i started taking katrina around my high school more often and to track meets she loves hanging out with my friends she especially loves saying hi to little kids it s like she knows to lay down so she doesn t intimidate them she s a sweetheart 3 i m talking to my principal on monday to discuss bringing katrina to school my teachers said is was ok but fingers and paws crossed that the principal approves 4 katrina has been on a couple big outings for her these include a college fair which was probably more scary for me than for her haha she was great with all the crowds 5 katrina had her first evaluation with our cfr she did really well walking around in the downtown area and handled the open stairs like a pro i definitely have some work to do with the gentle leader which leads me to my next point 6 katrina s biggest enemy is her gentle leader she absolutely hates it so may is officially learn to love the gentle leader month for katrina so far we are off to a good start we ve been playing fun activities with the gl like come and tug outside around the yard yesterday was the submission deadline for the gdb calendar so i decided to take katrina for a photoshoot at the bay i got a couple of good shots pictured below katrina in front of the golden gate with her puppy vest on pretty girl she has the sweetest smile katrina exploring the rocks on another note earlier this month katrina went to the puppysitters while i was out of town below is the beautiful delicate arch in utah if you haven t been there you should go it s amazing back to my puppy here she is last week we were getting ready to go to the puppy meeting we had a meeting today and we had to walk our puppies on a lose leash while balancing a plate of easter eggs in the same hand that we were holding the leash in it was hard but so much fun and hilarious above is the suzanne jenkins special k litter kristin mommy suzanne keith and katrina they are all amazing puppies with amazing raisers it was great to meet up with them at a gdb graduation i barely recognize gdb now because of the renovations guide dogs is remodeling their dormitory graduation building it is going to be great when they are finished i can t wait to see it above katrina is holding a toy in the gdb play yard katrina thinks this could make a nice ad for nylabone katrina has an exciting week coming up i m taking her to her first giants baseball game and then we are off to see don now sanford and his owners for his 3rd birthday party he is such a lucky boy every time i see him with his owners it reminds me how great the gdb community is have a good week lauren and katrina posted by lauren at 8 12 pm 4 comments tuesday february 21 2012 what a great first month i know i know it s been quite a while since i posted i ve been having such a great time with katrina i haven t found time to post she is such a special girl and i know we are going to have an amazing year together we have already bonded really well katrina is now 4 1 2 months i can t believe how fast she is growing up in honor of her being 4 months here is a list of the 4 things i love most about her 1 she is a total cuddlebug she loves to sit in your lap especially in the sun for as long as you ll let her i swear she thinks she s a cat 2 she s a people dog when she see s you she wags her tail like crazy and gets the wiggles all up and down her body her ears quiver with excitement and she tries to kiss your face all over 3 she has really really really soft ears and a cute little puppy tummy i love seeing her happy face in the morning when i open up her crate door and i love how she charges out of there like it s been forever since she last saw me plus what could be better than puppy kisses to wake you up in the morning 4 she s a smart little girl sometimes too smart for her own good she s the only dog i ve had that s figured out how to open up the x pen she lunges her body against the gate and pushes and pushes until she can escape then proudly trots around the house i know i said 4 but i thought of one other thing she does that i love she has the certain trot she does when she s proud she will take her toy and strut around the house with her tail held up high wagging back and forth it s hilarious katrina has been making a lot of progress lately she has been going on more and more outings lately and has stopped refusing to walk yay makes outings a lot more enjoyable for her and me in fact she loves walking today we went for a 2 hour outing to a neighborhood restaurant and around town this week katrina has been going to lots of new places the farmers market trader joes target macy s and shopping malls she s learning down and stay and working on her come she is really a mature girl for her age if things keep going well i m thinking that i ll see about her accompanying me to school sometime within the next month or so i ve also decided to join the guide dogs speakers bureau i can talk about guide dogs for hours upon hours so i think that will be a fun opportunity for me and katrina a puppy raiser in our club has been involved with the speakers bureau for some time and she told me how she visited a preschool which sounded like lots of fun i have this week off so i m hoping to spend a lot of time with katrina and work on some things with her another guide dog puppy from our club will be spending some time with us so that katrina can get used to other dogs she s been pretty cautious around dogs before so i want to help her become more comfortable around other dogs while she s young there s been a couple times where dogs approached her head on and she hid next to me lately though she s been a lot more curious about everything she s walking up to dogs on her own accord and calmly saying hello which is great to see now for some photos above katrina in my mom s arms cuddlebug i love the expression on her face katrina holding her puppy teething keys i think was probably the only time she picked these up not sure why but she really isn t a fan of these she d much rather play with an empty milk jug snoozing in my lap katrina says stop and smell the roses i love this picture i decided to do a photoshoot of katrina by the bay here she is posing with her puppy jacket on beautiful girl i love that smile happy girl puppies grow up way too fast hope everyone s doing well lauren and katrina posted by lauren at 5 39 pm 4 comments sunday january 15 2012 introducing katrina suzanne jenkins 10 8 11 right shoulder female yellow lab happiness is a warm guide dog puppy there is something about being handed a warm squiggling bundle of fur that makes everything seem right with the world thursday was quite the memorable day for me knowing that i was driving over to guide dogs right after school got out it was such a long day my friends probably got sick of me talking about my little ms k every minute i kinda got carried away looking up my pup s parents and grandparents and greatgrandparents it just so happens that i know the breeder keeper of my pup s grandfather russo my friends don t exactly see the excitement in that news but new puppy thoughts definitely took precedence over atomic theory and chemistry equations at guide dogs i waited not so patiently for my new puppy in the kennel kitchen i saw the bag with katrina on it i love this pretty name when i got my puppy assignment for letter k i was worried guide dogs might name a dog kat haha it was a close call waiting with me in the kennel kitchen was my family and don s owner as you may remember don my first puppy was career changed and adopted by his instructor at guide dogs it is the perfect home for him and we ve stayed in touch so there was quite a large crowd waiting for little katrina to arrive time never passes so slowly than when waiting for a guide dog puppy then the door swung upon and a tech walked in carrying my puppy in her arms she asked for someone strong to hold her she so was so big but fr 13 weeks she s a petite little girl puppy love is like no other katrina put her paws on my chest and gave me a big kiss what a sweetheart she was so happy to be pet and cuddled in my arms it was adorable she is a beautiful color more of a tawny golden color her coloring is pretty similar to don s when he was a pup she s got a little pink spot on her lips that looks like lipstick the softest ears and a tiny speckled nose katrina was a bit shell shocked out in the real world above the guide dog puppy veterans check out the new guy do you recognize the dog on the left it s don now sanford it was great to see him and have him meet katrina don still does the same happy dance with his ears back at home i discovered what a little cuddlebug katrina is she wants to be with you every second with her head on your lap or her favorite sitting on your lap and staring right at you like hey lets have a talk so far she hasn t been very mouthy knock on wood we ve been working on pottying on command today i think we re finally getting there and sit she s so cute she sits and then when you tell her good job she gets so happy she runs to you and plops herself on your lap d she is such a little cutie but put her on a tie down or in her crate and you will hear it she s quite the vocal little girl we re working on it though as hard as it is to ignore her adorableness i think we will need some more ignore the adorable puppy sessions above i think katrina finally realized that the tie down monster wasn t going to eat her she was a tired puppy after her first day at home and slept soundly through the night saturday morning katrina attended her first puppy meeting she was a very good girl she has a softer personality but was fine being in new surroundings she got to meet bella a 10 week old black lab puppy they were so cute together then on to her first outing panera bread our group of 4 adorable puppies was quite the attraction in the restaurant lots of people came up to pet katrina and she did great she was so exhausted that she fell right asleep next to her mentor france a 1 year old black lab good dogs back at home katrina was not very happy to be put on her tie down but she soon fell fast asleep a tired puppy is a good puppy we re having a lot of fun together she is a sweetheart and i m looking forward to a wonderful year together let the puppy raising journey begin round 2 posted by lauren at 10 06 am 11 comments thursday january 12 2012 puppy assignment suzanne jenkins 10 8 11 k
