[nagdu] Amount of walking

[Julie J]

Welcome Jewel!

It's good to see you over here.  I saw your message on the blind talk list.

I'm Julie, the moderator of the list.  I am working with my third dog who I 
owner trained.  He's a very large lab and Boxer cross named Monty.

Again welcome!  Feel free to ask away with any questions.
Julie
