[nagdu] New Dog in the House!

[Marion & Martin]

Dear All,    
I wanted to let you know that my wife, Merry, will be getting her new guide dog on Saturday! kappie is a black labrador/golden Retriever cross from Guide Dog Foundation. She is just a little more than one year old and weighs about 72 pounds. Mike Gallagher, her trainer, tells merry that she has a lot of puppy in her - not so good with obedience drills, as she is a little distractable, but an excellent guide with a very hard pull. This is just what Merry wants!
    We are busy preparing our home for a new dog, cleaning up the crates and rearranging the bedroom so she has a place by Merry to sleep. Merry is so excited, she is having a difficult time sleeping! Well, between awaiting the arrival of Kappie and all of the schoolwork she has! (smile)
    Merry has unsubscribed from the list due to her lack of time to read and respond to messages in favor of reading her textbooks and writing papers. Whew! I'm getting a lot of experience editting graduate papers! (grin) Any messages of importance sent to the list are forwarded to her, so feel free to write and I'll forward them on to her!

Peace!
