Not clearing snow after a storm is a barrier to mobility for the disabled and seniors. Do better Hartford. #GuideDog

All four of the guide dog pups we raised (or are raising) are all in the Fidelco kennel for one reason or another. L (youngest) to R (oldest): Velma, Olmsted, Glinda, and Sibley. This is the first time Sibley met the others.

It’s always sad to see our guide dog pups go in for training. But we got to take him up to VT last week to play in the snow. And we still have little Velma at home.

Olmsted went in for his formal guide dog training. Our daughter was his primary pup raiser. We are so proud of the work she did with him setting him up to be a future guide dog. #Fidelco #GuideDog

Velma is loving her first experience in the snow. She is our 4th guide dog pup and this is one of my favorite things about raising them. #GuideDog #GuideDogPup

So glad that Trillium Brew Co located next to Blue Hills Reservation (which members of the Olmsted firm designed). I chose this beer cause I loved going to the Trailside Museum as a kid after hiking Great Blue. It’s pretty tasty!!
