I call Truman "Rooman" (from back in his early puppyhood when he would howl, "roo-roo-RRROOOOOO")...which I often shorten even further, to "Roo-dawg," and sometimes just "Roo." Who knew he'd have something in common with your soldier?

Many thanks for your kind comments....Hey everybody! Many thanks for your kind comments. I'm sorry I've been so behind in posting and in acknowledging new visitors, etc. -- life with Truman (and everyone & everything else!) has been quite busy.<BR/><BR/>THANK YOU to those of you who have linked to this blog and who continue to be part of my corner of this virtual puppy raising (or just puppy loving) community. And WELCOME to those who are new.<BR/><BR/>And a special shout-out to my fellow Soldiers' Angels who happened upon us here by chance! (Yes, "another angel," I'd love to read your soldier's blog if you e-mail me the address!)<BR/><BR/>This was a great way for me to combine two of my biggest passions for service, and I'll most likely do it again in a month or two, so stay tuned.<BR/><BR/>And Trish: please pass along my thanks to your son, and tell him I'm proud of him for serving. Proud of you, too -- any mom who raises a Marine and then sees him through a deployment automatically gets my respect. The fact that you're a puppy raiser as well makes you even cooler. :) Yours is the third black-Lab-Willow we've met, by the way....<BR/><BR/>Thanks again, everybody! Come back anytime.8675309https://www.blogger.com/profile/07788710075501401606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15057396.post-35921446383818861002007-08-09T11:26:00.000-07:002007-08-09T11:26:00.000-07:00What a great idea to so that!

One of the soldiers I'm in contact with has a blog if you are interested. The language is a bit coarse, but I have found it interesting. I didn't realize how much I had underestimated what life is like for our troops in Iraq until I started reading there. I want to say again that I think what you're doing is great and I will be back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15057396.post-65986330894398202282007-08-08T23:29:00.000-07:002007-08-08T23:29:00.000-07:00Oops, we missed the deadline- Momma is always late...Oops, we missed the deadline- Momma is always late!<BR/>Okay actually she just found your blog now but she thinks you are awesome for raising future guide dogs! We know someone in our city who has a guide dog to help him as he is blind. And the dog, Yeller is a yellow lab that looks like Truman only all grown up. <BR/><BR/>And hey we didn't know that there was a K9 unit in Iraq. Wow! WTG for sending all those nice treats and toys to them!<BR/><BR/>Woofs, Casper, Buddy, Nikki and foster dog WinnieCasper and palshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18354068393069681079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15057396.post-80182217611863830992007-08-08T18:31:00.000-07:002007-08-08T18:31:00.000-07:00Hi Jenny,I am an adult puppy raiser for The Seeing...Hi Jenny,<BR/>I am an adult puppy raiser for The Seeing Eye in NJ, currently raising my lucky 13th pup. She was placed with us on Wednesday. She is a 8 week old black female Labrador Retriever, her name is Willow. My better half started a blog about our adventures with her. While searching for other puppy raiser sites, I happened upon yours. I love it! It sounds like you and Truman are very busy. Oh, I should mention my son is a US Marine. He did a tour of duty in Fallujah Iraq. So you can see; you are a girl after my heart. Keep up the good work.
