that Hawk has a special brand new harness. Both are very beautiful. --Previous Message-- : A few months ago a friend of mine found a lot : of vintage dolls at a garage sale, and he : called if I wanted it. I don't collect : vintage at all but imagined that for the $20 : asking price we couldn't really go wrong so : he bought it for me sight unseen. I posted : pictures here and you all were nice enough : to help me ID the dolls. I sold 4 of the 5 : dolls to people from this board, thanks : again, you know who you are. : : This friend and I are puppy raisers for : Guide Dogs of America, and I didn't really : want to keep profit from something he found : for me without sharing it, so together we : decided to donate the money to the first : puppy in our group to graduate. We have a : small group of puppy raisers here in : Tehachapi (5 families) and on October 19 two : puppies of our group will be graduating. : Guide Dogs of America offers guide dogs to : visually impaired people completely free of : charge (all funded by donations) and people : and companies can sponsor a harness to the : graduating person-dog team. So, the doll : money is buying a brand new harness for Hawk : and his person. We didn't put Barbie down as : a sponsor name, but our own guide dogs in : training (our Jane and our friend's : Hercules). : : Here are Hawk (on right) and Knight (puppy : in training that dropped out - we adopted : him) over a year ago. : : : :
