[Oagdu] Update on Mr. Mambo

[Kathy Zolo]

Hello Deanna, 
 
I am so thrilled that you and Mambo are working so well! Second, I assume
that he is totally healthy now and that nothing major was found wrong with
him. I sure hope he is totally healthy. It is very disconcerting when we
don't know why our dogs are ill.

Hi all,

I wanted to update you all on Mambo's progress. As you may recall, he showed
fear of traffic and loud noises when he first came home. I do live on a busy
street, with narrow sidewalks and the traffic being right next to you. I got
some great advice from some lists I am on and from the trainers at Guide
Dogs for the Blind about some things to try, which seemed to help immensely!
With daily walks, he has really improved, but still startles at times. 

Earlier this week, I had a follow-up visit from GDB. It had been scheduled
for a while, and I wanted to make sure that we were safe. On our walk, Mambo
did really well. He still did startle at some noises and vehicles, but
nothing like it was. The important thing is that he has a quick recovery, he
gets startled and then gets right back to work. 

The trainer said that I am a really good handler and that she was very
impressed with our work. She says we look like we've been together a lot
longer than 2 months! I feel the same way, I am just so happy that he is
working out so well. He has a strong work ethic and loves his job. We still
have a few kinks to work out, but I am just so happy! 

Deanna and Mambo
