[nagdu] Interesting Names Re: guide dog book about young person

[Marion & Martin]

Nicole,
    I think that the dog would do just fine with a name change during or 
after training. My past guide's name is Louiza. I call her Lou-Lou, Weeza, 
and sometimes....well, things I won't write in email! (smile)
    In fact, because my wife and I both work dogs and I was a former police 
dog trainer, I am going to switch my dog to German commands by pairing the 
German ones with the English for a while then only using German. I'll let 
you know how that works!

fraternally yours,
Marion
