Wow, am I tired? I have had a friend over this last week. Her puppy raisers went on a cruise. Marsha is a CCI puppy in training like me, but she is a Labrador. She runs fast and never gets tired. I am going to rest up for Easter Morning Service. Happy Easter Everyone. God Bless You.

I have my girl friend and fellow Canine Companion Puppy in Training Marsha staying with me this coming week. Here parents are on a cruise. Lucky ducks. On Saturday we went to the Wildomar Senior Center to help hand out Lions Eye Screening Flyers. Tracy of Hospice of the Valley was kind enough to let us hang out at her table. We saw lots of people and have a good time. See you later, Raisen

Hey it's me Raisen: Had a quiet day today. We napped and played and then rested some more. I am a pillow for Teagan. Tomorrow is a busy day starting at the office. See you then. Raisen

Raisen is a real hard worker. We had a very full day yesterday to meetings, to Appointments, to lunch to more appointments. She was good, she was calm and she minded. The picture is Raisen doing an "under" perfect I might add. We walked on several surfaces such as, open water grates, to shiny floors to handicap bumps. She was in and out of the car about 9 times and she was a professional all day. That is amazing for a 8 month old puppy. Way to go Raisen, you rock. We also forgot to mention that we did a little shopping. Lots of kids in there and way too much stuff displayed at her height. We calmly greeted a few kids and then on to lunch. She napped under the table the entire time. She is amazing. She has all the traits to become a full licensed service dog. We still have 11 months before turn in time, so hope that she only becomes better at all she does. We love you Raisen

Hello people: Hope you are having a good weekend. My family went to the mountains yesterday to play in the snow. That's my sister Teagan. Afterwards we went thru the nature center and got to meet and greet some kids. This morning we went to church and I was very quiet. After service, I was allowed to greet some more kids. I am working on my "shake" but not getting it yet. Hope you all have a good afternoon. Raisen

Saturday February 4, 2012 we went to the Lions MD-4 convention in Ontario. The Theme: “LIONS EXPANDING COMMUNITY SERVICE”. My foster Dad Jim did a presentation with me for a group of Lions Project for Canince Companions for Independence. Lions support CCI in a number of ways. The Batchelor's by being CCI Puppy Raisers and different Lions Clubs from all across the country, send in donations to LPCCI.

January 30, 2012 Mr. Matsler arranged for a Lions Project CCI program at the elementary school next to La Sierra where he teaches. There were 3 CCI puppies at various levels of training. I was the youngest. There were 4 CCI puppy Raisers there and Mr. Matsler ran a slide show and then we did some commands . Then, everyone had to ask first if they could pet us, but we were allowed to greet many many kids. We were all very good.

This is a picture of my lumpy nose. I think it was a bee that got me. My nose and eyes swelled really fast. Some ice packs and anithistmine and I was good as new in a few hours.

Ok people, take care. Raisen

I got to the the Board of Realtors for a MLS Marketing meeting on th 31st of January. Big meeting and everybody wanted to pet me. I had to do a down and stay quiet while the meeting was going on. I did get to say hi to a few Realtors before we went to the office. See you later. Okee people be good to one another. Raisen

First Dr. Office Visit

Wow, today I got to go to my Mom's Dr. s office. I met the receptionish and did an up and greeted her. Then off to the check in tech. I am 37 lbs. Then to the office to wait for the Dr. I calmly chewed my bone and then when the Dr. came in I fell asleep. The Dr was amazed since I am only 5.5 months old. She said she had two goldens at home and they would be bounching off the walls, if they were here. I then went to the pharmacy and waited for a few till the prescriptions were filled. I got a little jumpy as we were leaving and then a leaf blew in front of me. I am ready to go home. I got a little too hot in the car and got sick at my stomach, but Mom rolled down the windows and I got some fresh air. I am ok, and came home and once I saw Teagan, I was all better. Then we ate and played some. Ok, that is my adventure for today. See you soon.......Raisen

Hope that all had a good New Year. We were sad here as my older brother passed away. He has had Lupus since he was 6 months old. He would have been 11 years old tomorrow. He is in a better place with no pain. He is on the left hand side.

I am at work today trying to help my Mom and Dad get listings. I have a puppy class in Oceanside on the 9th. I am really looking forward to it. Still working on down and shake. Don't get the shake thing.

Ok everyone, take care and see you soon. Raisen
