Hello Sherri,
I'll fill you in tomorrow, Thursday after two pm.  Holly Schneider who I am 
now in a relationship and living with got a unexpected "We would like to do 
a home visit as we're going to be in the area"  We went thru the school 
together and of course after I sent out this e-mail...  well I'll write more 
after their sudden I'm in the area visit.
Coincidence or (shakeing my head)

>> David congrats for getting your first Guide and good luck getting all 
>> your dogs to accept Jack as your # 1.   I was in the class before you and 
>> recieved a 54 pound Vizsla named Bingo.   She is working great and 
>> although a bit smaller then 74 pounds I am happy.
>>
>> In our class a Woman came in a week after the majority of the class and 
>> all we heard from her is that she wanted the "biggest" dog so not being 
>> sarcastic or wanting a arguement it goes both ways in believeing the 
>> biggest dog is the best.
>>
>> She actually had three dog changes in the three weeks she was there 
>> (retraining from three months prior, (ruined her first dog))and had to 
>> have a trainer follow her back to the North to asisst her after she 
>> graduated.
>>
>> I feel as though I left with the best Guide and most of the other class 
>> was debateing over the biggest dog  (men and women)  I understand that 
>> some women want a big guide to feel protected from outside threats and 
>> because I am not a woman I can only try to understand why they feel that 
>> way.  Then again always remember that it's not the size of the guide it's 
>> how well you two work together.
>>
>> We were photographed when I was at Southeastern for a magazine for one of 
>> their 2 or 3 page promoteing the school and was proud to do it as I 
>> really feel strong on certain aspect's of Southeastern.  Then I asked for 
>> some copy's of the magazine to be sent to me to send off to my two kids 
>> and family and I heard from one of the staff members that it would cost 
>> "$15.00" to send them and pretty much come pick them up to save them 
>> postage.  OH WELL, I don't drive so...
>>
>> Southeastern does have a new Vet Dr. there and my guide has a small bump 
>> on her side so they hoped I could get the magazines then but as far as I 
>> am concerned their new Vet Dr. dropped the ball on respect for me and has 
>> a bit of narsism.
>> So anyway, again I got a good Guide and all is great and I hope everyone 
>> has a great day,
>>
