[nagdu] FW: photos finally

[lindagwizdak at peoplepc.com]

Hi Jeffrey,
I think it is OK to post pictures as long as Julie thinks its OK. There are 
plenty of partials on the list - me included -  who can enjoy them.  As long 
as they are of our dogs, I like that!

Bunny, I really enjoyed your pictures of your dogs in the snow.  That one of 
your barn is really nice.  I'll send that one to my sister who is an artist 
and she does barns as well as horse paintings.  Your pictures show the REAL 
New England that I know so well!

As far as "Politically Correct", my inner rebel says, "Bah Humbug!!!"  I 
think political correctness can and does go too far alot of the time.  It 
takes an idea of what's right to the obnoxious level and spoils it all.

I suppose it is a new idea to send pictures to NAGDU list members.  Yes it 
is a list for primarily blind guide dog users.  But we do have partials who 
use guide dogs, sighted assistance dog users and sighted puppy raisers on 
the list and I think they'd enjoy the pictures.  I do think the pictures 
should be limited to our assistance dogs just like the posts are limited to 
guide and assistance dog topics.

I do believe that if pictures are sent, the sender should describe them for 
the totals.  That way, nobody gets left out and everyone feels included. 
How do you feel about this, Julie, our moderator?

We had a nice Christmas and two other guide dog users - the Paws That Heal 
team - enjoyed a delicious dinner in the Galley and our visit on the mental 
health ward to visit the guys who had to stay there for the holidays.  The 
people and dogs had a great time with many smiles on the faces of the 
patients.

Hope you all had happy holidays and a prosperous New Year to all!

Cheers,

Linda and Landon
