[nagdu] oppinions requested about possible next dog.

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Stepper.
It's nice to hear from you.  I surmise that, if you're considering a new
dog, that your health is greatly improved.  I hope that's how it is, at
least.
Of course, whether or not you get a new dog is entirely up to you.  My
only question is, do you feel you get out enough to give the dog enough
work?  I know that before, when you were in constant pain, you could not
walk very far.  I hope that your pain pump really helped, and that you can
go where you like once again.
Tracy
