The family visits with me and Ernie. I am in heaven, having both families with me. All prayers have been answered.......

Pictures say a thousand words......

 

Here is our official graduation picture.  

GRADUATION DAY!! WOW, I feel so full of pride and I like the feel of my
harness on my back. My partner is great and treats me well and we both
like black. :) We are on our way to the ceremonies and I had to check back
to see if my puppy raiser was following us. I can see in her eyes that she is
so proud and happy for me and she can see in mine that I will forever remember her and the family. 

It has been a little over a week since my puppy raisers found out that I am going to graduate and become a guide. It has been an amazing experience for all of us. I am already working with my new partner, Ernie. He and I have bonded and become a team. Ernie is very good to me. I can not wait for my puppy raisers to meet him. They are going to be so happy I have someone who loves me and will take good care of me and in return I will make life an adventure for Ernie.
