[nagdu] bug anxiety

[Nicole Torcolini]

Hahaha. I do not remember if it was a fly or a bee, but, on our first
outdoor route together, the trainer that was with us said that there was a
fly/bee flying around Lexia's head, and she was slightly distracted by it.
It was more funny than anything else.

Nicole and Lexia
Shoe fly, don't bother me.

Hi,
I hope you and your husband are better, and same for your pup.
Well with beenson, he is quite the opisit. Today I was getting ready to
leave a summer science camp put on by the nfb of Michigan and the university
of Michigan, and one of the interns there was showing me a common true
kadedid, you can here them at night, there a pretty big bug. but the guy
jumped off my hand, and in less than a second, benson had eaten the bug, I
felt bad for the bug, but it was quite funny.
I hope the best for you three.

thanks
