Guess what VID (Very Important Dog) I met last week.

Lisa met Wranger, the Today Show dog from Guiding Eyes for the Blind!

I had heard about a dog from Guiding Eyes for the Blind (GEB) who was a regular on the Today Show. Since my mornings are usually spent cleaning up my son’s oatmeal or scrambled egg as I try to whisk him off to day care before I start work, I’ve not had a chance to view the Today Show dog. There’s not much time for celebrity dog spotting with a three year old.

However, on a recent visit to GEB I got to meet a dog named Wrangler. I was told he had just finished a busy weekend spending his Memorial Day with Today Show folks and their holiday celebrations. He looked pretty good after having a long weekend. I wish I could say the same for me.

Oh well…

Thanks Wrangler and GEB for letting me have my picture taken with a VID!

More to come on why I was there, later…

Whole Dog Journal article

Recommends “Please Don’t Bite the Baby” as a resource for ‘dog-owning’ parents.

For those of you who don’t subscribe to the PleaseDon’tBitetheBaby blog, I am cross-posting:

Once again Pat Miller CBCC-KA, CPDT-KA has written a lovely article for the Whole Dog Journal that offers families with dogs some great tips on keeping kids and dogs safe around each other.

If you subscribe to The Whole Dog Journal, you will see the March 2018 edition with the article: “Kidding Around, Combining kids and dogs in your family can be magical and heartwarming, or cause a devastating tragedy…”

If you don’t subscribe to WDJ, I highly recommend you do, and not just for this article, there is so much more.

At least a half a dozen times a month I recommend WDJ to new dog families and even established dog families for the journal’s ongoing commitment to information on training, behavior, health, various products from harnesses to toys, and the annual food guides are invaluable.

Thanks go to Pat Miller and The Whole Dog Journal for reminding families of the some of the ways they can make their dogs and kids safe together. And, thanks go from me for the nice nod to Please Don’t Bite the Baby, and Please Don’t Chase the Dogs.

Every family can work to make their kids and dogs safe around each other with some management, training, and time.
