So yesterday I got to meet Kelby's big boy Khan....and I can tell you he is just awesome! He has the sweetest nature, with a hint of a mischevious side!
What an amazing day we had on Sunday, 26 May 2013. SA Guide Dogs held their appreciation day and several guide dogs and of course 1 very special service dog graduated from Guide School! Thanks to Bob Martin all the SAGA dogs sleep with full, satisfied bellies! And of course all the graduated got a bag to go home with.... Khan gave the all important nose test and Bob Martin passes with flying colours! Kelby and her big boy Khan! He really is a rather large labby - but he is the most loving and helpful dog I've ever seen! Here is Kelby with Maxine. After the puppy walker, Khan returned to the centre and was placed in Maxine's expert care. Maxine was responsible for Khan's specialized training and of course she matched Kelby and Khan..... best match ever ! and finally Jenge come through from Pretoria for the day. Khan definitely approves!
The SA Guide Dogs Association of South Africa is dependant on donations to continue to do the amazing work they do with these stunning dogs! Each dog costs around R 10,000.00 from birth, through training to when he or she goes home with its partner. All the Association asks from the new partner (ie owner) is a paltry R 5.00 donation - thats right just ZAR 5.00 that is less than 1 USD! So if you could spare a quick SMS you too can make a difference in someones life! SMS the word " SEE " to 38051 for an automatic donation of R 10.00. This is a direct donation to the Association - I wont even know if you donate or not.
So this is how time fly's! I found a photo of Kelby on her first day of school in Bridge Class and then I had one of her in her Matric year. It was such fun seeing this layout come together and remembering so many of the highlights of those years in between these two!
May they have many long and happy years together.
