Khaki Graduated; Here Are Some Pictures!

Saxon's best buddy Khaki graduated as a guide dog last weekend. We had a wonderful weekend trip up in San Rafael supporting Khaki's puppy raisers, visiting with Khaki's new mom, and staying with Cassie, John, Dagan and Scooter. City dog Saxon got to see cows and experience life outside of paved streets and driveways of Los Angeles. Here are some pictures from the weekend:

cuddles with off-duty Khaki. I think she remembered me :)
Morgan Watkins give his last graduation introduction as Guide Dogs' acting CEO during the last graduation at Guide Dogs' current dormitory stage. This was the last class to graduate from this dormitory before remodeling - quite a day.

And that was our trip! Hope that was enough pictures!

  1. Love the photos of Elsa. I raised a Simon/Elsa puppy, Janetta (phase 8) who I absolutely adored! Never have I had such a passionate puppy. Janetta looks very much like mom. Thanks for the post.
