About your wardrobe and personal style

Give it up for the new YLF guide dog! -- now with a pic!

Well, I'm in New jersey and writing this as my new guide sleeps in a ball beside me. She's an absolutely adorable little black lab named Reva, and so far we're settling in well. I still have inevitable moments where I miss McClure, and those are occasionally compounded by the fact that Reva is different from him in nearly every way...But she's a super sweet girl that I know will steal my heart and that shows great promise to be a wonderful guide!!

I'm so sorry I can't post a picture; my problems with photobucket continue and I can't seem to upload anything on my own anymore. If someone wants to post it for me, by all means let me know!

Edit: thanks so much to Marianna for posting this picture forme (see comments below).

Hi Reva! That's a beautiful name and I'm sure she's a beautiful girl! I wish you both the best!

By the way, I'd be glad to upload pictures for you. Just email them to me and I can upload them later tonight if you want! :)

Still working out when would be a good time but I'm confident this meet up will happen.

What a beautiful, beautiful dog!

I have a black labrador retriever too, and I think they're just wonderful. Incredibly smart and loyal dogs.

Reva is absolutely gorgeous - she has shiny, glossy black fur and soft velvet ears. And her eyes are very friendly. What a beauty she is.

How old is she Michelle?

Reva is absolutely beautiful but of course you still miss McClure, you need to give it time. I now it's not the same situation but when I fell pregnant with DD2 I worried if I would love my second child in the same way as the first, when DD2 finally arrived I was ecstatic, they are very different children but the human heart has such a massive capacity for giving and when you think you can't possibly love anymore WALLOP it expands again.

I'm so very proud of both you and Reva.

Hugs Julie

Michelle, she is gorgeous! What a cutie! Of course you'll miss McClure for a while, but at least you'll still get to see him every now and then (he's with your parents, right?). I'm sure you and Reva will make a great team!

Oh my gosh, I melted looking into her big sweet eyes! I think you two will get along famously. Reva has big shoes to fill from the darling McClure, but she looks like she is up to the task!

Well hello, beautiful girl! Thanks for introducing us to your new pal, Michelle. She's a lucky puppy. :)

Hello Reva!!

Ohhh, Michelle, she is BEAUTIFUL!!! Such soul piercing eyes and such adorably floppy ears. Like Lousie, I love dogs' ears. So soft and comfy.

Reva has big shoes to fill but I'll bet she is upto it and will make a great companion for you. Keep us posted!

Stunning! (Thanks for uploading the pic, Marianna). Reva is so, so, so pretty. Her expression is kind, gentle and intelligent. It’s energy for your soul, Michelle. Cheers to a magnificent new team!

I’m excited that you, Reva and Maya are going to meet. Take pictures!

OMG I have fallen in love with Reva - what a gorgeous girl. You are a lucky duck Michelle. Labs are gorgeous!!! We have just asked our real estate if we can get a dog but the owners said no - boohoo :( Can you please post lots of pics so I can live vicariously through you and Reva!!!

Thanks, everyone, for the wonderful welcome you've given Reva! She's such a sweetheart; I know I'll have no end of cute stories to share! I promise more pics will be forthcoming (ideally one where she's in the light and offers more of a contrast)! :) The one thing I can guarantee is that her tale will be wagging, since it never ever stops! :)
