[nagdu] crates?

[Aleeha Dudley]

Hello,
     Funny! I just left the Seeing Eye two weeks ago with my yellow
Lab! I have the same crate that you have in class. Dallas uses it as
his safe spot so that when he feels as though he is underfoot, he goes
into it. He also sleeps there at night. I believe, with the special
code you can get from The Seeing Eye, you can get 20 ppercent off
these crates on Amazon.
Hope this helps and have fun in New Jersey!!
