[nagdu] My new dog

[Marion & Martin]

Ted,
    Congratulations on your new dog! Once the puppyhood is over, he will 
settle in nicely!
    I can give you a word about turnstyles. The biggest challenge with them 
is getting the leash through without getting it hung up! Otherwide, the dog 
can walk through the mechanism by going underneath it while heeling. HTH! 
Keep us up-to-date on Cruise's progress!

Fraternally yours,
Marion
