[nagdu] Heat and Humidity with guide dogs

[cheryl echevarria]

just keeping up with what Dan Weiner said about guides.

My Maxx actually was raised in Ocala, FL and he actually so Ice never mind 
snow here in NY at GDF the February of 2007, my trainer Valerie Kramer said 
to him, you must be a florida dog, because he was so interested in the snow 
falling and liked walking on the ice go figured.

But it is very hot and humid here as well as FL this year, mostly high 
humidity, and must say this has been the first summer since I have had maxx 
that we aren't out working everyday because I don't want to get sick, and he 
seems not to liking the heat some much himself, and slows down as well.

Well, I hope september will be a little cooler once these hurricane's pass 
we will be clipped a little on long island and so will the boston area, but 
by then Earl will be a 2 category hurricane.

So not only in Fl, but others states as well were hit hard this year with 
the heat.  Dan, I actually don't like August in Fl, July to me is okay.

See you in 2011

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!
