[nagdu] Puppy raising

[Meghan Whalen]

I do also have a guide.  Kirby is five and a half, and she's so so good with 
this puppy.

He's four and a half months old, and I've been working with him since early 
June.  His name is Dayton, and he's a black and tan german shepherd.  This 
guy is incredibly smart, and in a lot of situations, he behaves just as well 
as Kirby does already.

I do take them both with me most places with Kirby working on the left and 
Dayton healing on the right.  I of course take Kirby out solo several times 
a week, too, and take Dayton on his own at times, too, to make sure he's not 
dependent on Kirby, and he is good healing on my left side as well.

I'll have him for probably about another year, and then my heart will break, 
and I'll have to say goodbye.

For now, though, I will find joy in watching him grow and learn, and I'm 
proud to be working to give someone an awesome dog, just as someone did for 
me to have Kirby.
