David, Congratulations on your dog too. I'd like to learn more about the
present state of South-Eastern.

>> Hi David,
>> You know, I was just thinking yesterday that I hadn't heard anything from
>> you on the list for ages. I was getting worried. I'm just so excited that
>> you have your first guide dog and like Sherrill, I think Jack is a cool
>> name. I just hope things go so well for both you and Jack. He's a big boy
>> and that's usually the desire of most men I think. I've had two golden
>> Lab
>> crosses now. Rosie was my first and she is golden and resides with my
>> daughter. She's 12 now. Davey is my present, beyond wonderful, guide and
>> he
>> is black. Davey is my first male dog and we are joined at the hip. I got
>> Davey when Tom was so ill.
>> It will be good to hear more news about you and Jack. Yes, you do have a
>> challenge working him into your home with three other dogs. The best
>> advice
>> I can give is to just focus on Jack because you are now his world.
>> Take good care and do send my love to Donna.

>> Dear All,
>>
>> Welcome back Sherrill,
>>
>> I hope you enjoy your new guide dog.
>> I too, just returned from Southeast Guide Dog this weekend with my new
>> guide
>> dog Jack.
>> He is a drop dead gorgeous 74 pound Goldadoor.
>> He is my first guide dog and I still have much to learn about using a
>> guide
>> dog. I face the added issue of integrating him into my household of 3
>> other
>> dogs. It is going to be a challenge, but we are going to do our best.
>> Good luck and again welcome back.
>>
>> David Evans and Jack.

>>>
>>> Though I still miss my Merry dog, it is truly a joy to have a dog in the

>>>
>>> I had a fabulous experience at the Seeing Eye! The staff is so very
>>> caring
>>> and professional. I'm glad I decided to return there, even though the
>>> last
>>> time I went was in 1980!
>>>
>>> She did well on her first plane flight, by the way, only sitting up and
>>> putting her head in my lap when we took off. She's small enough that I
>>> had
>>> no trouble sliding her under the seat. The flight attendant didn't even
>>> ask
>>> if I wanted to sit in a bulkhead seat, so that was good.
>>>
>>> We had a full class of 24 students, and passed a cold around, but at
>>> least
>>> it wasn't the flu! There were only 3 first timers.
>>>
>>> I'll probably post now and then about how things are going, and give you
>>> updates about our misadventures (smile.)
