Some Random Thoughts
It has been a long time since I posted here. Things are busy around here. We are getting ready to take another trip to Alaska, and then on September 30, I will go to class at Guide Dogs for the Blind in Boring, OR for a new dog, dog number 8. It's hard to imagine that I have been working guides for 42 plus years. That's longer than most current trainers of guide dogs have been alive.

I look on this NewDog, which is the nickname for the new dog, it's capital n capital d all one word, as an adventure. Will this be my last guide, guide number 8? I don't know. Certainly blind people in their mid sixties get dogs, but will I. I suppose that's a thing nobody can know, not even me with my impatient self.

Since this is just a stream of consciousness tonight, I guess I'll stop for now, but the Fall always brings out the contemplative side of who I am, so who knows what will appear here. If you get sick of reading, just hit delete and come back another day, smile.

Meanwhile, deepest peace to all!
