Hi,
I've heard that there are dogs that would definitely enjoy my lifestyle. I
think that in the next year I will return to Leader for a dog. My youngest
daughter will finish high school in June, and likely move out of state, so
it'll be just me and my dog ... And I'll find things to keep us both busy.

I asked Burton about your message saying you just stay in an office all the
time. He says your puppy can keep you company in the office and also go
for early morning or after walks with you and keep both of you fit. He says
dogs like being guides and like being with us. Isn't that amazing!! We two
are off for a little walk since it is quite wonderful here today.
