HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my blondie-boy!

Yes, FLD Dutch turns one-year-old today.

Luckily, I have him for a bit longer - his return to Leader Dogs for the Blind is scheduled for 11/11/13.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUTCH!

Cc'd Gus still likes to ride on the passenger seat floor. It's a squeeze.

Here is Dutch, in the same spot in the van, when he first came home with us last November.

A big THANK YOU to Dutch's parents,

LD Mom Indy and LD Dad Alphie

and their host families.

Dutch has been lots of fun!
