I can honestly say that I am extremely happy that LJ (Now Riley) is going to come to live with me. Perhaps when we complete our service dog training we can make a White House visit together and show them what they missed out on!

Too funny! Yeah the kids in the second segment are Renee's who is on here. She told the reporter everything she needed to know about how we know each other and the kids names, etc. and the reporter basically just brushed her off. The reporter did the same to me but I was happy I could just sit back and watch the show! Really long week at work that week. The 11 month thing still makes me cringe. And the editing done on Rob where he talks about flopping dogs all over the place was totally taken out of context. It may just be more reliable information if we did our own stories. You write the article for the paper next time and me take the mic and run with the story.

Yes it's pretty astounding how many mistakes some reporters can make. They said 11 months the first time and 11 weeks the second time. Recently our dog park was in the paper because of its grand opening--the story was just full of mistakes, makes you wonder if they were even listening!

At the time of the interview the pups were 11 weeks old. Yes they are Multi-Gen Australian Labradoodles. I am guessing your question stems from some of the errors made in the segments. Rob gave the reporter all the correct info but at the time of editing/live tv it came out somewhat different from what he originally stated. Makes me wonder if they made mistakes on a 2-3 minute puppy segment what other mistakes the news makes that the public doesn't know about? Oh well, it was a lot of fun!

I am happy to hear you met Rob. He has been so busy these past few months he really hasn't had the time to set up a profile. Luckily there are no excuses on holidays! ;-) Well except for the fact that he was the one doing all the cooking for our extended family while setting up his profile.

That was cute, Scott :-) I was excited to "meet" Rob
Yours are multigens though aren't they?

Thanks! We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Luckily I was stuck at work when the interviews were being taped so I could just sit back and enjoy the show. ;-) Felt bad for Rob but he did a great job.

This is so exciting. What a great clip!

We agree. Snow is a lover. She usually walks over to you and sits down and looks at you until you pet her. But if she feels lazy she will just roll over right where she is and lure you in with her pretty green eyes and soft pink tummy. Way too cute to resist! LJ is more service dog oriented. Very proffesional in his demenour. He would be a good dog to have in the oval office during a serious meeting.

Go Labradoodles. I pick "Snow" for the 1st. dog she seems laid back and would be just perfect.
