We hosted the Jackson/Lansing Leader Dog Christmas Party. Thirteen dogs (from 10 weeks old to 4 years old, 5 golden's, 4 yellow labs, 1 black lab, 1 German Shepherd, 1 poodle and 1 lab/terrier/Shepherd mix), 18 people and 3 kids!
We played Reindeer Games,
played outside in the yard,
shared some doggie kisses,
Future Leader Dogs in attendance were Macy, Gina, Addy, Zeva, Quin, Jubilee, and Bella.
Some non-Leader Dog guests attended too. Of course Wilma and Kramer were there, along with Teyla (Paws Foster pup), Pearl (cc'ed Paws), Nittany (cc'ed Paws) and Dempsey (adopted shelter dog).
Wilma had a very special guest, Nittany, formally known as Henna! This was Miss Lime Green from Wilma's first litter. She was cc'ed from the Paws program at 5 months for bad elbows. She quickly out grew it, is in perfect health and has been enjoying life as Matt's pet for over a year now. It was SO good to see her again! Matt says she loves the water and lives for treat time, traits she undoubtedly got from her mom. He also said she is a fast runner. She must have gotten that from her dad Wheatly because Wilma doesn't do anything fast, except steal treats! 
Another special guest was Quin. He completed his training at Leader Dogs, but was not issued to a client. Bethany got him back for the holidays so he would not develop kennel stress at the Leader Dog school. Her and Ron are thrilled to have him back, but said it'll be hard to say good-bye to him for a second time. He is a very beautiful golden, I love his color and his squinty eyes!
At te end of the day, everyone was dog tired!
