Happy birthday, Eva!  
Krokus will also turn 4 next week.  Eva sounds a lot calmer than my ridiculous puppy, though.  She sounds lovely.
Krokus's birthday is Valentine's Day.  That's why he's so sweet!

Hello:

Today my golden Eva is four years old.  It is amazing how fast time goes by. 
It seems like just weeks or months ago that I brought the little fourteen month old graduate home.  She is an amazing guide.  She walks slow and does not pull and never needs corrections.  Eva is the perfect match for me.  She is a true joy to work.  She especially enjoys going to the nursing home to visit my parents.  I take her harness off so staff and residents can enjoy petting her.  Mom and dad tell me that a lot of the people cry when they are petting and hugging her.  I know this is not correct guide dog behavior but, I do not mind because Eva works perfectly once I put her harness on again. 
I think it is important to give the residents the interaction with a dog because they have all had to give up their pets when they were admitted. 
Eva brings a lot of loving kindness to the staff and residents of the Homeview Health and Rehab Center.  I am proud that she can be my guide as well as provide much needed pet therapy to so many people.  Happy Birthday to Eva and here is wishing you many more years of great guiding and sharing your love.
Sandra Johnson and Eva
