So, a few weeks ago I applied to be a puppy walker for a Guide Dog. So did 100+ other people So, naturally, we felt we didn't have much of a chance.
But still, we arrange for a worker to come and do a house check, meet our two dogs (we thought we'd be rejected because we had two, but it turns out that they just have to be over three years old and not bouncy) and all that.
Well, that was on Tuesday, I believe. But then it gets postponed to Thursday because the worker had the flu. So it turns out she still can't come on Thursday, so we just ask over the phone "Are we getting a puppy or not?" (well, I imagine it sounded more polite then. xD)
Her reply: Oh yes, you're definitely getting one.

I'm so excited! We don't know what breed the pup is, nor its name, just that it's a female. I have a hunch it's a Lab (we put on our application under "breed preferred?" Lab or Golden) so yeah. She's coming on Tuesday, and in NZ time it's Sunday morning... This is taking way too long!

We've set up my dog's old crate, bought some blankets and toys, bowls, grooming stuff, you name it!

So... yay! Just thought I'd share

That's really cool, Golden :D It must be pretty exciting, being chosen to train a puppy out of so many people ;] I aswell would be more than happy to hear the name and breed of her ;D

Thanks both

Update: She's here! I actually found out her name and breed yesterday, but I didn't want to post it till she came.
Her name is Gena (pronounced "Gina" - strange spelling, I know) and she's a black Labby, which is what I was hoping for.
Contrary to what I thought, she isn't a nervous wee thing, but she's unbelievably bold. Can be a bit annoying, cuz she's getting into everything xD
She's sleeping at the moment, and she can sleep through anything. Really. And she's cuddled up to my Golden, Flora.

Photobucket is being stupid at the moment, so I'll post pics when it decides to be fast.

Aw, she sounds really cute ^^ Gena's a really cute name, in my opinion XD. Can't wait to see pictures of her, she sounds adorable ^^

Aw, excellent!

I have known a fair few Guide Dog puppy walkers. I think that's what they're called... when you more or less foster the puppy getting him/her used to being in everyday situations, socializing etc. ? Well, there's a woman in the village that does that. She's looking after a gorgeous Golden Retriever.

Ooooh.. The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association put on Guide Dog Galas too. We went there twice and I don't think Archie had ever sniffed so many labs in one day. xD

Rather envious of you right now. Best luck.

Aww... im jealous (Dont worry i wont throw you off a cliff like Scar did) I really wanna see a pic of her!
