[nagdu] feeling stuck

[Hannah Chadwick]

Thank you Tami. I'm definitely hoping that the woman I need to talk to will
understand because she has a dog of her own but she might not. We'll see and
I'll keep everyone updated for sure. :)
Best, Hannah

Hannah,

Well, freaking out the day before you make that phone call seems a pretty
reasonable thing to do to me. It's what I would do! /grin/

Remember that we are all here for you and will do whatever we can to support
you in making the choice that is best for you. By overloading you with more
advice than you can possibly read, naturally, but it's the thought that
counts, right?

Sounds like you are in exciting times! I will be hoping that those in charge
at the training center appreciate that you are a young woman with motivation
and a future and grasp that scheduling many facets to get there can result
in unexpected conflicts like this. If they are worth their salt, they will
encourage you and work things out with you so that you can return to
training when you have your dog so that you can learn what you need to know
before you start school.

Best!

Tami
