SHE DID IT!

We got the phone call this morning!  Fenix has been matched, and will graduate on 10/23!  Words cant express how happy we all are for her and her new partner!

Will I or Won't I....

We should find out today if fenix has been matched with a student at GDA, and if she will be graduating next sunday!

It's been a long summer camp

We keep getting postcards from Miss Fenix.  She continues her education, honing her guide dog skills with her trainers.  The all comment that she is in good spirits, and is a fun girl.  We hope that she gets matched and graduates this October.

I'm Still Here!

At the last GDA graduation, I had the opportunity to talk with one of the trainers.  She advised that Fenix has completed training, but is waiting for "just the right match".  She is still in good spirits, and seems to enjoy her new life.  We are keeping our fingers crossed that she will meet her partner in the next class.

No News is Good News...or so they say

We keep getting post cards from Fenix (who would have guessed that writing post cards was part of a Guide in Training's curriculum), and she is learning lots of new skills.  By now, she should be done with her twenty weeks of training!  The next group of students/users arrives at GDA this Sunday.  It will be interesting to see if she gets matched with someone out of this class!  How exciting!

I'm Still in School!

Although very busy at Guide Dog College, Fenix still finds time to keep in touch with us.  She has sent us four post cards, which keep us updated with her progress.  She has learned alot of new skills, but still has free time to play with all of her friends.  Keep up the good work little girl!

I'm Still Here!

There hasn't been any official word from Fenix about her progress, but the fact that she is still in training and entering her sixth week is good enough for me!  We saw her string's trainers at puppy pick up day (Ulani is now in the house!), and they advised that she has adjusted well to her new routine.  We are keeping our fingers crossed as Fenix begins the more challenging part of her training.
