So... I have been in contact with Cheryl, the head trainer at D4D, for the last few months. During that time, I have heard a lot about Franklin. At their birthday party, I simply went by "Franklin's puppy raiser", because everyone knew who Franklin was. All day I heard, "oh, we love Franklin". It was exciting to hear, even though I wasn't able to see him because his foster family wasn't able to attend the party. I was pretty disappointed, especially because there were other puppy raisers there that got to spend time with their dogs, but I was instantly drawn to another dog that I could tell had a Franklin-like personality, AKA- he was very relaxed. He was huge, and almost white in color. At first I thought it was blogging friend Burgess, but I knew that he was still in training at GDB. I then learned that the big boy was Bradley, previously known as Bracken, Burgess' brother. So I got to work with him the whole day, and it was really comforting just to cuddle with him.
For those of you with screen-readers, I hope this works! Please let me know.

Thats so exciting. Yay for are puppies graduating on February 10. Congrats!
That is awesome news! I'm happy Franklin is so well-loved by so many including his new partner, the D4D staff and mostly, you. I always was intriqued by him. My husband's father's name was Franklin, as is his brother's. I'm not a fan of the name but hope to incorporate it into the name of a child if we ever have one, just due to the signifigance of it. I'm sure the name Franklin always carries a special place in your heart now. Thank you for sharing your special boy and your comment on my blog. It meant a great deal to me.
Hooray! Congratulations, Franklin! I love the photos--he even looks super lovable!
Congrats Franklin!
Yay for Franklin! That's great he still will get to work :)
Hi Taelor,
my name is bethany and i am a teen raiser too. I raise for Guiding Eyes for the Blind in NY. Anyway, I am raising my 2nd puppy and I am thinking about overlapping for about 9 months with my current and 3rd puppies. I was wondering if you could tell me what it is like to overlap for a long period of time. Is it way harder? If you want to e-mail me that would be great. If you want to just reply to this comment and I can send you my e-mail address (do you know if I can do it someway so that no one else, but you can see my address). Thanks so much!
