I know, I know, you have been missing me.  Well I have been missing all of you too!  There have been exciting things happening since I last put my paws on the keyboard to update my blog.  The most exciting thing is that our book "Wags to You - Short and Long Dog Tails" was released on
November 13, 2014.  It is DOGGONE Exciting don't you think!!  I felt like I had been chasing my tail for many months waiting for it.

Since then we have been running non stop from Book Signing Event to Book Signing Event.  I love it, as I get to bring people in with my eyes and my irresistible charm! I must admit getting used to life in the celebrity fast lane has been a challenge I have mastered.  And those pawparazzi, wow do they push the limits or what?  Oh who am I kidding, I love it!

You thought that my only job was to lead my master, Clark Roberts and get him to his destination safely. Well that is of course my main job, but now

I get to pose for pictures with people that get our book, be available for my pawtograph to be done and receive the many scritches that people want to give me.  I am a very happy and ...wait for it.... here it comes....PAWpular Dog!!!

Oh wait, I have to tell you how much fun I had when my Paw was being printed for the Pawtograph. Karrie, my master's wife (my mom) took a black ink pad and a cloth. She then put a piece of paper on the hardwood floor and asked me to lay down.  I did, on my back, to receive a belly rub... but alas she did not want to rub my belly.  Instead she took the black ink pad and pressed my paw into it, she pressed each of my toes firmly into the ink pad and then she quickly took my paw and pressed it onto the piece of paper that was on the floor. She worked so fast I did not really understand what was happening.  I wanted to then jump up and play, but she and my dad held me down.  I don't know why they would not let me go.  It was at this time that a very cold, wet, cloth was on my paw, and she began to clean out the ink. I laugh now thinking back to the picture we must have been.  Me on my belly, dad holding me down so I would not leave black paw prints all over the house, and mom holding my paw and trying to get the ink out of the pad, the hair and oh - did you know how much webbing a lab can have between his toes?, yes you guessed it... A LOT!!  It took about 20 minutes to get my paw clean, but the stamp that she made out of my print turned out great.  You will need to purchase a book from us so that you can see my "Pawtograph"!

You can do this by going to our our website and finding a Book Signing or Speaking Event in your area or by ordering from our website at ultimate-vision.org .  Remember the book is NOT available on Amazon.

Don't forget, the book is called "Wags to You - Short and Long Dog Tails", and part of the proceeds from every book goes back to Guide Dogs For the Blind (GDB).

Hope to see you at an event soon.

Wags to You,

Arby
