[nagdu] We are home

Hi Tami,
We are already getting comments on how much the two look like...the dogs,
not my girlfriend and I!  They are great dogs and will work together for
many years I am quite certain!

Steve & Misha

Oh, what fun! Matching guide dogs. /lol/ I keep thinking of young

Good that Misha has a good young colleague to mentor on the job and a
fun partner in crime -- I mean play! -- during her time off.  /smile/
