Dear All,

Welcome back Sherrill,

I hope you enjoy your new guide dog.
I too, just returned from Southeast Guide Dog this weekend with my new guide 
dog Jack.
He is a drop dead gorgeous 74 pound Goldadoor.
He is my first guide dog and I still have much to learn about using a guide 
dog.  I face the added issue of integrating him into my household of 3 other 
dogs.  It is going to be a challenge, but we are going to do our best.
Good luck and again welcome back.

David Evans and Jack.
