Juliet
is a female Yellow Lab. She was born 9 February 2006 and was the first
puppy raised by Margaret of Fairport. Juliet passed her IFT on 22 May 2007
and was on brood evaluation for a while before deciding she'd rather be a career
girl. She graduated with her new partner, Nolan, on 23 February 2008 and
will return with him to Ohio and become a "Buckeye"
college-girl!
During her time in Rochester, Juliet went to work with Margaret, played with
her "foster sister", Annie, and her cousin Noel. She also
participated with Margaret in lots of activities with their GEB friends, including
visits to local schools, Pioneer Girls, and a recent foray into "puppy square dancing"

Margaret says:
It seems like not long ago that Juliet
was handed to me in the parking lot of a hotel. The little puppy with a
crooked tail who did not like to lie down on hard floors has grown into a dog
who has visited places like Bristol Ski Mountain and enjoys square dancing.
I have really enjoyed the challenge of coming up with new outings to
go on. I can't wait to see how she does on her IFT.
From the GEB web:
Nolan C. returned to Guiding Eyes from Ohio to receive Juliet, his second dog
from the school. He originally chose Guiding Eyes on the advice of a long-time
friend who had had experience with other guide dog schools. Born in 1957 with
retinopathy of prematurity, Nolan enjoys a full and productive life. He has been
married 28 years and has four daughters and two grandchildren. He is a computer
consultant, author of newspaper and magazine articles for the visually impaired,
and currently the Director of Assistive Technology at Ohio State University.
Also a voracious reader and a ham radio operator, Nolan says that he spends most
of his leisure time with his family. Nolan predicts that Juliet, with her free
spirit, driven by a wanting-to-please work ethic, will enable him to safely cut
30% out of his travel time each day. He also knows that she will be a remarkable
goodwill ambassador on the college campus. Nolan’s assessment of Guiding Eyes
is concise: “It is the best there is."
