: 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.
