Update






Can you believe that it is June?! Where does the time go? I said I would post pictures from Kaiya's birthday. Well, they are only a month late :)
I think she looks so much older than the little puppy we got back in August. She is such a small lab that people still think she is a puppy.
This is a classic Kaiya face:) She is a dog that loves life. Notice the feet... If she plays outside after we cut the grass, her paws turn bright green! Guess it was bath time.

This is what Todd calls her "Grandpa" face. It makes us laugh :)

So, last month we were told that if her hips come back as "excellent", they may have a child for her. We we got the report back and they were marked as "good". This is still a good rating but not what the parents of that particular child wanted. So, we go on waiting for a child for Kaiya. They said we could have her for another 4-6 months. There are two other dogs in front of her that are being trained (specifically for a child). This can take several months and they focus on one dog at a time. After those dogs are trained, it will be Kaiya's turn, but only if they have a child waiting to take her. We knew going into this it could be a year to a year and a half commitment. It seems it could be even longer depending on a child. We'll just have to wait and see.
