[nagdu] a quick question

[Julie J]

LOL!  Mark nothing is a quick question when it comes to talking about guide 
dogs!  It's been really excellent conversation though.  There are a lot of 
people just getting their first dog.  This is all important stuff to think 
about.  Thanks for bringing it up!
