[nagdu] Oh, so that's why he gets to bring his dog everywhere

[Larry D. Keeler]

As far as I know, guide dogs never have vests around here.  I have seen 
vests on dogs out of Paws for a Cause have, I think orange vests on.  Last 
Friday, UI had to take my wife to the hospital and it was coollldddd!!!! I 
put Holly in her jacket that I only use for cold and snowy weather.  She 
thinks she looks great without it!  Anyway, its a very bright reflective 
silver and she sure gets a lot of comments with that thing on!
