Egypt's Sister

Hey everybody, I'm back with some pretty cool news. So the other day at the relieving circle, Egypt was doing a great job pooping and I heard one of the Re-Train's dogs name was Eden. So, I started thinking Egypt and Eden.. both names have an E and there could a possibility that they were sisters. So I asked one of the staff members if the dog's files contained the names of their siblings and they told me no and asked why. I told them that I was just curious if Egypt and Eden were sisters, another staff member heard me and he said he thought they might be sisters.. So I asked them to ask the Re-Train Terry when Eden's birthday was and low and be hold it was July 11th! So I wanted to meet Terry but didn't have a chance that night but the next night when I went downtown, I was hanging out in one of the rooms and Terry came in along with Eden. So it seems like the two dogs instantly recognized each other because Egypt stood up and Eden went crazy. The two dogs are complete opposites from each other, Egypt being more relaxed and Eden being hyper. Eden is a lot smaller than Egypt, about 50 lbs and only 20 inches tall. So, it was really nice getting to meet her and the dogs played around for a while and had a lot of fun. Hopefully soon I will some pictures put up of the two dogs, I hear both of them look pretty similar, with Egypt being the prettiest of course. Thanks for reading, take care and I'll have another one up soon.

Ok everyone sorry its been so long we have been extremely busy but now I finally got some time to write. Well lately I have been working with Egypt around the town. We have done very well and I have gotten a lot of good feedback from my instructors they say I am a very good follower and she is a great guide for me. Some of ya’ll might laugh but we walk very slowly haha she walks right at my normal pace from the time I could see. She does really well in watching out for me and making sure I walk safely. When I walk sometimes my feet scoot on the ground and my instructors told me that everytime that happens she looks back to make sure im fine and it has come to the point that if she thinks I might scuff my feet on something she will show me. … So enough about some serious stuff for right now. Let me give ya’ll some advice, never get your hair cut at supercuts in san rafeal. I went to get a LIGHT trim, but nooo.. I almost got scalped. The lady was of asian decent. That shoulda been my red flag to turn around and cut it myself, so I went and told her a light trim and she told me “ohh ok, so you want tiny bit shorta then your hair is now” I told her correct a tiny bit shorter. She prceeded to get the buzzer and I thought she was goin to clean up my neck first. Ha! i was wrong again. She went from the neck up with a pretty short guard on. So I stopped her as soon as I could and told her no no no scissors, she did a great job blending it, but there wasn’t much conversation after that haha. All that for a good picture… So today Thursday we did traffic checks. The name has nothing to do with it, basically it was to see how the dogs reacted to a car pulling up in a driveway if we are crossing or about to cross or if the car is in the way of our route and to see how the dog solvles the problem of goin around. Naturally… Egypt passed with flying colors she gave me a buffer of 12 feet on average which means she is very careful with me. And they did a thing called the chase where a car is pulling up behind us. She took off trying to get me outta the way and I didn’t speed up fast enough so she was tugging with all her might to get me outta the way. Needless to say I wasn’t really going to get run over it was an instructor driving. I bet sometimes they don’t wanna stop for some students haha. But I was very proud of the way Egypt protects and watches me. Hopefully I will have somemore pictures for ya’ll I have some good ones waiting for ya’ll but till next time Love ya’ll and thank you for taking the time to see my boring life. Take care

Hey

Just checking to see how you are doing. Have not see you post anything in a while and wanted to see how you and Egypt were coming along. What new things are you doing? How are you and Eqypt getting along. She looks like a wonderful dog and I'm sure she is gentle. Labs are great dogs.
