Hi Malcom, As Donna said, guide dogs are all chipped now though when I got Duke in 1999, they weren't; Possibly some were but he wasn't. Are you happy now that one of your chocolate girls is back hahaha. The email I sent yesterday was supposed to go to all recipients; I'm not sure if Mrs guide gets a bit mixed up at times as she's been on the go nearly 7 years now. Anyway better luck with your seedlings and shall be glad when it warms up a bit as have a lot of outside work to do. I do read talking books as well by the way; I can read braille and did all the time at school but am getting lazy. Love, Anne.
