Reva is so gorgeous. I absolutely love her name too. I know you'll be great friends and companions... seems like you have already developed a strong bond!

Gertrude sends her hellos to Reva. :)

Reva is beautiful. Congrats on your newest family member. I am sure she will give you many years of service, love and sloppy kisses:)

Labs are so intuitive, sensitive and very smart . They also use Labs in childrens cancer wards bec ause they are SO good natured....I have seen them climb right on the hospital beds next to a very ill child. They are wonderful animals:)

That's okay Michelle. I was unusually busy this month with these interviews and some other stuff. It's too bad you didn't come last month when I had NOTHING to do!

She is absolutely adorable and her little face is full of wisdom :) I'm sure you'll become best friends in no time at all!

Words cannot express how touched I am that you and Reva share the KILLER bond that you do. It makes my heart so happy. Cheers to your fabulous new relationship! Jasmine and Rosie send botty sniffs and tail wags.

I’m digging you in those white pants and grey Converse. Such a stylish lass in guide dog training school :0)

How fantastic that Riva is lively and dedicated, she sounds allot like my eldest daughter Teah, an absolute bundle of fun!

What a beautiful puppy she is! I'm so happy that everything is going so well for you both. My furry brood sends a hiss, but it's all for the best of course. ;)
I echo Angie, you look so stylish in your grey Converse and white pants. I love seeing your photos Michelle!

oh wow, Reva is absolutely beautiful. I am so pleased to hear that she is so dedicated and that you two have bonded! And yes... also loving the white pants and Cons!

I am struck by Reva's beauty and confidence in every picture you (and Marianna) post of her. Sounds like you two are off to an great start. Thank you for sharing her with us, Michelle.

She's beautiful and looks so alert you look great together x

Michelle,

Reva is beautiful and it's wonderful that she is so loving and intelligent. I really enjoyed the insight into guide dog school. Fascinating!!! She must be a winner if she can navigate Manhattan! Hope to see more pictures of your adorable puppy!

She's very cute- and she looks a little like my Gryffon!

Michelle, Reva looks so attentive and focused! I'm happy you've completed your training! I also noticed your grey converse and white pants - is it denim? You look great! I hope your transition back to Toronto is going smoothly.

Reva is very, very beautiful Michelle!

By the way, I have a black labrador retriever myself - his name is "Gus". We didn't choose that name, as we adopted him from a local humane society and didn't know how long he'd been "Gus" - so we just kept the name, since he'd been shunted around from shelter to shelter.

He has been a real challenge... and makes Marley of "Marley & Me" look positively tame.

Meanwhile, I am really enjoying seeing these pictures of your Reva. She is just gorgeous. You have a very beautiful new dog. Her face and her expressions are soulful and intelligent. Plus, her fur is dark and very glossy.

Imagine the most friendly eyes ever, a really cute and pretty face, complete with the darkest and glossiest fur. That's your Reva. She's an absolute beauty.

Here's hoping the adjustments and training are going well.

Reva is so beautiful! I really am coveting those gray Converse as well - super stylish.

Hope you can relax a bit at home while your and Reva get used to your new routine together.

Thanks for the warm welcome you've given my Reva-girl! she's settling in well and has already mastered a few of my common routes! She keeps me moving, but that's a good thing overall. :)
VC, best of luck with Gus. I really hope you're able to persevere; labs are wonderfully sweet and affectionate, but there's no doubt they can be a lot of work!
And for all those who noted the converse, they were my indespensible footware item in N.J. I wore them every day and found them fabulously comfy!

Oh how wonderful! I know Reva will be very different than McClure, but I love hearing how you have bonded already & are starting to work as a great team. Reva looks like such a smart and eager dog. Congratulations on finishing your training and bringing her home!

Awww, this is so great to hear! I am sure it's a lot of work, but you've got a wonderful dog who already loves you and looks out for you. That's a great start!

Reva is a beauty! love black labs - they are so affectionate and fun-loving. It sounds like the two of you are already off to a great start. Thanks for sharing!
