Doxy is good sized, maybe seventy five or so pounds. I could ask as Albert
is such a nice man for specifics.

When I was in the hospital late July, he was the first person to call me.
His nick name for me is "Lady Frankeberger." 

Doxy is a beautiful yellow labby.He is a very quiet dog even around the
house.  My husband has spoken on the phone with Albert several times and
Doxy is never heard.  

www.myblindspot.org  or it may be com, I don't remember, soft smile.

For Albert's web address of the great things he is doing.

Becky and sweet Jake waving a paw

Hi Becky and List.
Becky, nice to meet ya. I figured as much. Also, how big is the dog? On
those small planes that can make a difference.
