[nagdu] GDF and Standard Poodles

[Danielle Ledet]

Not personal at all Jenine but GDF no longer accepting new requests
for poodles, Southeastern not accepting anything but alums for their
wheelchair program, GDB discontinuing the wheelchair program, who's
next? Locked door locked door locked door locked door. Phew! Did I
miss anyone else? Seems like schools are grappling and weeding others
out for some reason. Just my humble wooden nickel observation.
