Grant is here!

Even though we are still mourning the loss of our beloved Molly, a canine opportunity arose that we couldn't pass up. Grant (I know, dumb name) was in training at the Guide Dogs for the Blind Institute in Oregon and didn't quite make the grade (or he "needed a career change" as they put it). He's a wonderful and intelligent dog, but he has a fear of escalators and is a little too happy to be a working guide dog. Their requirements are incredibly stringent and not all dogs make it through. Grant seems happy to be a family dog now and has really taken to Logan. He's about a year old and still has a LOT of puppy in him (lots of wiggles!). We weren't ready for a dog, but when a well-trained, pure-bred, free dog comes along, you don't say no.
