[nagdu] Just catching up / Tipton's on going training

[Lyn Gwizdak]

Hey Mardi,
Guess Tipton keeps you busy.  What breed is he?  Was he named after Billy 
Tipton, the Jazz musician?  I read a biography about him recently - wild 
guy.  Maybe your dog takes after him! LOL!

I hate it when people let their dogs come up to ours when they are obviously 
guiding me.  What are they thinking???  It's not rocket science for folks to 
see what our dogs are doing.  When I first saw a guide dog for the first 
time a loooong time ago, nobody had to tell me not to bother it.

Lyn and Landon
