[Julie J]

LOL  I thought of that when I was writing it, but I couldn't think of any 
more accurate analogies.

Thanks!
Julie

>> In case you are new to the list or don't remember, I am owner training 
>> Monty.  I've had him now for about 14 months.  He's just a few weeks

>> The weather is getting colder.  There is a chance of snow this weekend. 
>> I have arthritis, which is much worse in cold weather. Being able to work 
>> Monty to and from work will be a huge relief.   I'm so glad we've come 
>> this far.  It feels like the final hurdle in a marathon.
