[Nfbf-l] FW: homecoming

[Sherri]

David, so great you have a guide dog. Your life will be very interesting. 
Good luck with Jack and the other dogs. I've had to deal with three dogs in 
my house off and on with my daughter Robin coming to visit and bringing her 
mischievous and rowdy dog Oscar to visit Bailey my Leader dog and Charlie, 
my pet, who used to be Robin's pet. Needles to say, things get interesting, 
but I'm sure that given time, Jack will integrate quite nicely into the mix. 
Hope all goes well and a big congratulations to you. Please tell Donna hi as 
well. Take care.
Sherri

>> Hello all,

>> I wanted to let everyone know that my new guide Fallon and I arrived home

>> I had a fabulous experience at the Seeing Eye!  The staff is so very

>> and professional.  I'm glad I decided to return there, even though the 
>> last
>> time I went was in 1980!
>>
>> She did well on her first plane flight, by the way, only sitting up and
>> putting her head in my lap when we took off.  She's small enough that I 
>> had
>> no trouble sliding her under the seat.  The flight attendant didn't even 
>> ask
>> if I wanted to sit in a bulkhead seat, so that was good.
>>
>> We had a full class of 24 students, and passed a cold around, but at 
>> least
>> it wasn't the flu!  There were only 3 first timers.
>>
>> I'll probably post now and then about how things are going, and give you
