[nagdu] canes was new member

[Larry D. Keeler]

That's probably where it comes from!  Running after little kids, chasing 
after dogs and even running track have all served to build my confidence. 
In my area, I usually walk around without cane or dog.  Although dogs need 
to go out so technically, I usually have a dog!  But, when they're not 
working they sure love to play and pull you out of line!
