On New Year’s Eve, Brent was career changed. A “lack of confidence,” Guide Dogs for the Blind decided.

Sigh. My second pup dropped in Phase 10…of 10 phases! SO so close to making it as a graduate. But…those instructors know what they’re doing.

And after living with Brent this past week, I’m pretty sure that he was in Phase 1 ten times, rather than Phase 10 one time. He picked up right where he left off at home…a big goofy puppy who is convinced that he’s petite.

In this photo, Brent is at our back door, staring at wild turkeys in the backyard with an evil thought in his head.
