[nagdu] dog uran getting the shoes Males VS Females

Tue Feb 28 04:27:44 UTC 2012

Amen to your post, Lisa.  Liam is my first male; my previous two guides have 
been females.  People ask me if I notice any difference between the two.  I 
can say that Liam is definitely more attuned.  But, so am I.  Other than 
that, I really don't know of any difference attributable to their gender, 
only their personalities and skill sets.
Best,
Nat and Liam Joshua
