I am so lonely

I am so lonely.  I am locked in the school kernel with hundreds of other dogs around me, but I have no one to play with.  MasterK is sad and lonely too, just look at this photo taken today.  To cheer him up, Erica drove MasterK to Denver for Dim Sum, but the food wasn't that good.

Back to school

I guess I am not doing well with traffic check.  Stephanie would take me back to guidedog school for retraining.  I will be leaving tomorrow morning and will be gone for at least 2 weeks.  I will miss MasterK and Crystal.  sad...sad.

Training day 1

My Guidingeye trainer, Stephanie, come to visit us today.  I am so happy to see her.  The purpose of the visit was to give us refresh course on traffic check and food avoidance.  In the morning, MasterK just took me for a long walk with Stephanie following us so she can gauge us how we doing.  She told us we were doing fine.  After lunch we worked on the traffic check.  While walking with MasterK, Stephanie repeatly drove her car in front of us to cut us off.  I didn't do too well the first few times, because I didn't slow down for the car, that because I forgot on how to handle this situation.  I gotten better after few tries but still need more practice tomorrow.  Afterward, we gone back home for food avoidance training.  I love to pick up food from street while working and that's a big NO NO.   Stephanie dropped some foods in front of me, if I go for it, MasterK would give me a leash correction.  If I don't fall for the temptation, I would get a big praise and a reword from MasterK.   After few repeat ions I learned not to pick up food from the the ground or from other person anymore.  She said we will practice  on the street tomorrow.   Stay turn.
