[nagdu] Multiple applications and waiting lists

[L Gwizdak]

Hi Debby,
I think it has always been that you actually are "penciled in" for a class. 
Whether you actually go to that class is contingent on if there is a good 
match for you among the dogs slated for that class.  It is still that way.

I originally was slated for the April class but then no good match for me in 
that class.  I then decided to take the opportunity to have a surgery while 
between dogs was best for me and the August class was going to be my next 
class date.  Still no match.  Same for Sept class.  I shouold be hearing 
anytime now about the Oct class.  Hopefully there will be my dog for that 
class!  I don't want to go in the winter months and I don't do snow and ice 
very well.  I live in San Diego where that is never an issue unless I go up 
into the mountains!

Wish me luck!
