[nagdu] update from the Motley crew

[Chantel Cuddemi]

HI all,

 

Sorry if this is  a long email, but I haven't given you all an update for a
long while. 

 

For those that don't know, Motley is my first guide dog from Pilot Dogs. He
is a two-year-old black male standard poodle. 

 

We've been a team now for nine months. 

 

I finally wrote his raiser, and I received a response last week. 

 

His raiser lives on a farm and according to the letter, Motley was his fifth
out of six dogs he raised for Pilot. 

 

He remembers that Motley always did his best to behave and that he was a
very happy and nice dog. 

 

 As for Motley's pull? Well, it's much better, but we still need to work on
it in grocery stores. Guess I need to pull out the trusty chest pad. Smile. 

 

As for bowling alleys? Well, Motley won't be going to a bowling alley
anytime soon. His fear got the better of him at those. It's the balls coming
up the lane that scares him as well as all the noise. 

 

Other than that, everything is going well! 

 

Talk to you all soon,

 

Chantel and Motley
