2 CANINE COURIER NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER In the Kitchen with Bev & Jasper The kitchen can be a dangerous place; sharp knives, boiling liquids, and hot elements. Now imagine trying to maneuver through dinner preparation without the use of your eyes. For those who are blind or visually impaired, the traditional approach to cooking simply does not work. Canine Vision graduate Bev has championed her culinary skills both sighted and blind. Her experience in the kitchen began at the ripe age of six when her mother gave her an ultimatum: learn to cook or learn to clean. Her choice to make the mess rather than clean it up has definitely paid off as Bev has hosted and prepared countless Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners since losing her vision. Bev lost her vision in stages; first losing sight in her left eye at the age of 17, and then the right eye in her early thirties. Part of my life has been spent with full vision, part of my life with partial vision, and the bulk of my life in darkness, says Bev. Despite her blindness, Bev found other ways to accommodate in the kitchen. Obviously senses come into play while cooking, it takes time to tap into what your senses are telling you, but it s worth the Bev and her Canine Vision Dog Guide, Jasper study, explains Bev. I am fortunate to have several audio aids that are beneficial, like my talking timer and weigh scale, but for the most part my best tools are my fingers, she says. Regular lard pastry for a double crust pie 8-9 medium golden delicious apples (or other good pie apples), peeled and cut in chunks 2 tbsp all-purpose flour 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup white granulated sugar 1 tsp cinnamon 1/8 tsp cloves 1/8 tsp salt 1-2 tbsp cold unsalted butter cut in small pieces Jasper, Bev s Canine Vision Dog Guide, is the one tool that she cannot do without. He acts as her eyes when they are out in busy environments, like the grocery store. Jasper provides me the luxury to leave the house whenever I wish, this is not only good for physical activity but it also promotes good mental health. While walking Jasper, I can collect my thoughts and reflect on daily pressures, shares Bev. The ways in which Jasper assists are not new to Bev; she is a four-time graduate of the Canine Vision Dog Guide program. She received her first Dog Guide in 1989 and has returned to Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides for a new Dog Guide when the time came to retire each dog. The Lions Foundation has never let me down, not once. When I was a first time handler they were patient and conscious of my inexperience; they provided me with a dog that matched my abilities and my life. Now as a seasoned handler they have continued to provide the right dog for each stage of my life, explains Bev. Bev s Apple Pie Bake times: 425 F for 15 minutes and then 350 F for minutes. May need foil on edges of crust to prevent over browning. Yield: 9 or 10-inch double crust pie 1. Fit dough to pan; chill. 2. Mix flour, sugars, cinnamon, cloves, salt and sprinkle 2 tbsp of this mixture on bottom of pastry. 3. Add apples, sprinkle on remaining flour mixture and scatter on butter pieces. 4. Fit top pastry and cut steam vents; brush with egg wash if desired and coarse sugar. 5. Bake in lower third of oven with a drip pan below it. 6. Cool on a rack out of reach of Labrador Retrievers.
3 CANINE COURIER NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER l'm thankful... Just before Thanksgiving, Lions Foundation of Canada asked our Facebook group members what they were most thankful for. Here is what they had to say St. Nick's Pet Pics Nigel Special Skills graduate I am thankful that my Special Skills Dog Guide will always be there to help me, whether it is picking up a dropped item, opening and closing doors, or alerting others if my chair ever gets stuck. Essentially, she is there to pick up the pieces that have fallen, bringing me into a place of hope. Judy Seizure Response graduate I am most thankful for my Seizure Response Dog Guide, Veto. He gives me freedom, keeps me safe, gives me independence, and gives me the ability to go outside by myself. I am so thankful to LFC for making this happen for me. Dena Hearing Ear graduate I am most thankful for my Hearing Ear Dog Guide Leo and all the work that Tracy, Rhonda, and everyone else put into him and us becoming a team. I am not scared anymore to be alone at home because he has alerted me to the fire alarm and that was my biggest fear before I received him. Thank you Lions Foundation of Canada! Allison mother of AAD graduates Alec and Esme I'm thankful for all the hard work the foster family, trainers and staff put into raising, training, and managing the dogs. We're thankful for our Esme and the huge impact she has made in Alec's life. Ingrid mother of AAD graduates Kaitlyn and Catch We are most thankful for the extra calming factor Catch brings to my daughter who has autism. LFC, you give us all such gifts when we receive our dogs. Why not host Pet Pictures with St. Nick?" Several stores and vets hold a special day in November or December for the public to take pictures of their pets with St. Nick and donate proceeds to Dog Guides. It is terrific awareness and fun for everyone! Residents can find out if their pet (cat or dog) has been naughty or nice as Santa is set to pay a special visit to PawsWay Pet Discovery Centre on the following dates in Toronto (245 Queens Quay West): November 26-27, 12p.m.-4p.m. December 3-4, 12p.m.-4p.m. December 10-11, 12p.m.-4p.m. December 17-18, 12p.m.-4p.m. Pictures cost $10, with $2 from each photo going towards Dog Guides. Oakville Place (240 Leighland Ave.) will also be hosting Pet Pics with St. Nick on November 28 th from 6-9 p.m. as well as December 5 th, 12 th, and 19 th from 6-9 p.m.

FUTURE DOG GUIDES GETTING BUSY, BUSY House training is one of the first areas of training for every puppy. Some take to it very quickly, while others may take a bit longer. Puppies will not usually mess in their sleeping area, however their bladder control is limited so be sure to provide outside breaks frequently. By watching your new pup carefully you will learn to read the signs. Knowing what your puppy does to communicate that it has to relieve itself will help both of you become successful in avoiding accidents. We eventually want the puppy to relieve on command; this is very useful for the client when they are working with their new Dog Guide. We use the command busy, busy. While teaching, you want to say "busy, busy" when the puppy is actually relieving itself, but not before. With repetition and lots of praise it will become a reflex command so the puppy knows what you want him to do. Be proactive about your house training, get your puppy outside often! Puppies house train at different rates - please be patient. The puppy program staff are always ready to help with advice. Thank you for all your hard work and have fun with your new puppy! N ursery ews Fame (Black Standard Poodle) had 10 puppies on August 12 th, sired by Colonel (Standard Poodle) Asia (Cream Standard Poodle) had 10 puppies on August 21 st, sired by Romeo (Standard Poodle) Quest (Black Miniature Poodle) had 5 puppies on August 27 th, sired by Leroy (Black Miniature Poodle) Paisley (Black Labrador Retriever) had 9 puppies on September 6 th, sired by Tommy (Yellow Labrador Retriever)

The Walk is an integral part of the Lions Foundation being able to provide Dog Guides at no cost, and the 2012 goal is $1 million. The national Walk date is Sunday, May 27 th, 2012 and we encourage everyone to get involved in raising funds or helping plan a Walk in their area. Help us reach our goal of raising $1 million and participate in a Purina Walk for Dog Guides near you! For more information: walk@dogguides.com or visit Corporate Acknowledgments Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides would like to acknowledge and thank the corporate volunteers who dedicate their time and help with many tasks. Their support helps to ensure our continued success in providing Dog Guides. Unitron Unitron employees regularly assist Dog Guides with mass mailing projects. They helped fold and mail more than 2,000 newsletters and thanks to their efficiency, this large task was completed within a few hours. Deloitte It was all about the dogs for a dedicated team of Deloitte employees on Deloitte Impact Day. They assisted our kennel staff with dog washing, kennel cleaning, and spending time with our dogs in training. TD Canada Trust A group of TD Canada Trust employees assisted with property maintenance and weeding in October. Thanks to their efforts, the outside of the training school looked fantastic for the fall Open House. KPMG Each year KPMG encourages its employees to get involved by volunteering for one day in their community. A number of KPMG employees have chosen to volunteer at Dog Guides for this occasion. They assist with a variety of tasks such as stuffing envelopes, bathing Dog Guides in training, weeding around the building and even vacuuming all the hair out of our vans! We are grateful to all the KPMG employees who chose to volunteer at Dog Guides and look forward to their return next year.
