[Nfbf-l] FW: homecoming

[Sherrill O'Brien]

Hi David,

I knew you had talked about getting a dog, but I didn't know when that was
to occur.  Your dog sounds wonderful, and Jack's a great dog name, I M O.
Is his coloring golden or black?  This will be a very new experience for all
of you, but funfor sure.  Can't wait to meet him!

Sherrill and Fallon

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.
