[NAGDU] Introducing myself

[nellie at culodge.com]

Hi Michelle,

I am Janell and I am from Chetek Wisconsin (1 hour north of Eau Claire.)  My husband and I just moved to Springfield Il because of a job transfer for him.  He works at HSHS hospitals.  We still have our house in Chetek and get back there as much as we can.

I am on my second dog, Rosy from OccuPaws in Madison Wisconsin.  My first dog, Sully, also from OccuPaws.  I had to retire him at 5 because of a dog attack.  Both Sully and Rosy are black labs
Sully was a fantastic dog, worker, and overall a great and smart dog.  After the dog attack, he wanted to attack every dog we saw.  Rosy is a little honey.  She is super sweet, a good worker but a lot less aggressive than Sully was.  Sully lives with my son now so I still get to see him.
Welcome to the group!!

Janell and Miss Rosy 😊

Thank you everyone! Teddy is my pandemic dog. I got him in August 2020 and Seeing Eye graciously did a home turn over for me. My husband Jimmy has Multiple Sclerosis and while he is independent, I like to be around to assist when needed. He uses a cane and does quite well on most days. I actually enjoyed home training. I could work, could keep the house running, and Teddy could learn my routine from the beginning. I would be happy to answer questions from anyone.
