[nagdu] Guide Dogs and Pets

[Cindy Ray]

I had canaries. All of the guides would stand and watch the birds. The birds were a little nervous when a new dog came in, and the dogs would pace back and forth as the bireds flitted back and forth across their cages. They all adjusted in time.

They have named her Spike Taco Rocko I haven't yet let Arrow and Spike meet because she's new to their family and am iure it's an adjustment for her. I also don't want either Arrow or Spike to accidentally hurt one another. I intend to talk to Arrow's vet about this and also to a pet store owng.
