Just had to share this sweet post from my Aunt Rachel! She recently retired her beloved guide dog, Kiona, and made the trip to California to meet and train with her newest partner, Bilbo. Heâs not one of my pups, but how special is that? Wishing them a beautiful bond and a lifetime of adventures ahead!
For the last almost 2 weeks, I have been training with this guy to be my new guide who will travel with me through lifeâs adventures. Meet Bilbo, a 60 pound male black Labrador. He is very sweet, smart and loves to work. If youâre a fan of the hobbit or Lord of the rings, his name will instantly be familiar to you. I have to admit it was lost on me initially as I have not been a big Lord of the rings fan. I guess I know now what my next book will be. we graduate class tomorrow and start our adventure together. He will be a great addition to the family. Heâll get a big surprise though the first time he sees snow As he was raised in southern California. Looking forward to many years of travel adventures together with Bilbo. For those of you who canât see the photo, Bilbo and I are sitting on a wall with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background.
