Brothers in Arms

While wild play is part of their friendship, Watson and Vinson have their touching, calm moments too. Here's a photo of them napping together nose-to-nose.

Nose to Nose!

What does Your Desk Look Like?

Any dog lover will tell you that dogs have a knack for creating comedy. This morning, Garcia took the stage.

As you all know, Vinson and Garcia are wonderful friends and share office space at The Seeing Eye. This morning Garcia quietly came in my office for the usual morning hello's, but this time I didn't hear or see him.

Coincidentally, Vinson had found one of Watson's tennis balls in the car this morning and managed to remove one half of the cover like a banana peel. Thankfully he didn't attempt to ingest it (something he would've tried without a second thought earlier in his puppy-hood)!

I placed the tennis ball on my desk when I arrived and  forgot about it. I was working away at my computer when I realized there was a big black and pink Garcia nose resting under my monitor, patiently awaiting some tennis ball play. The photo here shows the surprise I got!

Garcia's nose, a peeled tennis ball, and yes, that is Vinson and myself on the day we first met in the red frame.

The Great Pumpkin

Wet nose = wet spot on pumpkin

Vinson got his first sight/lick/smell of a pumpkin this morning as the Seeing Eye campus begins take on an early Autumn look. First, he licked the side of the pumpkin. Then he checked out the stem. Finally, he sat for a few photos in the golden morning sun. The dark spots on Vinson's nose are wet spots from him sniffing around in the dew-laden grass.
