[nagdu] Update.

Hi Marsha,
Yes, there are several Mambo songs, and every time I say his name, I want to sing and dance, LOL.
Mambo went to the vet yesterday, because I think he may have a UTI. I am waiting for the results to come back and the Vet to give me a call. He seems to be doing better today though.

Deanna,
Congradulations, may you and Mambo have many years of a wonderful working partnership together!
I love your dogs name, every time I hear his name, Mambo, I think of that song Mambo number 5. I think that is the name of the song. LOL
Keep us updated on how you and Mambo are doing, okay?
Thanks!

Hi all,
I just finished training with my new guide dog at Guide Dogs for the Blind in San Rafael, California! It was a great training experience and I was very pleased with the 2 week program. One of the students in my class was getting her first dog, and she needs a little bit or extra work, so our trainer is going to visit her in a few weeks. So, it's nice to know that if you need a little extra work when you get home, that GDB is able to provide it. There were a total of 6 students in my class, and we were paired with another student with a similar lifestyle. We worked with two instructors, one who has been an instructor for 20 years and another who was an apprentice. It was nice to have all of the support and help from both instructors. The second week was all about customization, so I got to work on all of the things I wanted to. We walked in areas very similar to my home environment.
I received a 20 month old, male yellow lab, named Mambo! He is 22 inches tall and weighs 65 lbs. He is very sweet and such a great worker. He does not get easily distracted by other dogs, people or food (knock on wood). I am so happy with him! We just arrived home last night and started right back to work this morning. I had to get up at 5:30 AM Eastern time, but my body is still on California time, so it felt like 2:30 AM. An afternoon nap sounds very appealing, LOL.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Deanna, Mambo, and retired Pascal
