Well I am back from my week long stay at GDA for my evaluation. I had tons of fun playing with my roommates and I also saw my sister Callie again who was also in for her evaluation. Jessica for the puppy department took me out for my evaluation and here's what report said.

Comments:
Dog responded well overall in new area with new handler. fairly easy to handle overall. dog was not bothered by anything of note. good response to OB commands. Continue to expose to new areas as she matures. continue to practice OB in new areas.

So I did really well!

Now Denise says that we need to get THE CALL to be Spayed not sure what that is but Denise says it is one step closer to being a Guide Dog.
