[nagdu] question. about mya, and i.

Tue Apr 29 21:54:34 UTC 2014

I  understand your fears because three years ago I  had to retire my gsd and 
she was from pilot dogs inc.  She worked until she was seven years old, but 
I  wasn't ready to let her go.  But with the support of my family and 
friends I  understood that she needed to live her life free of worring about 
me. If you want to talk off list my email is:
