Leone is pretty cute and ahs ana dorable personality.
Vegas is not really far from Palm Springs.  Maybe you can request the
puppy raisers email address or phone #?  I keep in close contact with
Leone's puppy raiser.  We email back and forth and i send her
pictures.  She came here in July tos ee Leone but Leone was in summer
School at GDD for a brush up refresher course.

I was jsut in the hospital for a 3 day run of what is called IVIG.  I
ahve Myasthenia Gravis a Neuro/Muscular disease.  the drug helps keep
me strong and active.  Leone leads me to the nurses station in the
morning when i arrive and goes home with robert  and comes back when
I'm ready to be picked up.  He willd rop her leash before he reaches
the room and she knows just where I am and she  wags her tail and
shakes her butt and runs up to me all happy like.  I miss her too.
then we go for a walk.
