At Fun Day 2007 Oregon, Nell meets her puppy |
- Hi Alda: Last Thursday, Nell's had her routine GDB breeder Ophthalmology exam. She has prominent sutures which does not effect her vision (Goggle-Canine prominent sutures.). However, it does effect her career as a breeder. Our beautiful Nell has been retired as a breeder. Nell will return to the Oregon campus in May to resume her training to be a guide dog. It's Nell's destiny to be a guide dog. We feel blessed to have shared in this noble beautiful creature's journey. To know Nell is to love her..goodbye girl. Love to all the breeder keepers and puppy raisers.

- I saw Nell's pups today. I made a point of hunting them down as I realized that they were 8 weeks this weekend and would soon be leaving. They were all in the puppy kennels and 3 of them were being socialized when I first got there. They are so tiny! They are the littlest 8 week old pups I've ever seen. The kennel worker told me that these puppies are all picky eaters. From the notes on the kennel doors, it appears that some of them have had to have supplemental feedings.
