Thank you everyone. It really has been the most amazing journey. It seems unbelievable that I have done what I have with him, that we have done this together in under 8 months time. There were the hair pulling out moments for sure, the times when I thought he'd never get either of these two things- LLW and not herding my guide cane! Argggg the herding dogs! Smile And now- its just so different than Met. Met was very special- my first, but Thane is that one dog that no one could not love at first sight. Smile Oh yeah I know we all say that about our dogs now don't we. His smile and bouncing ears are just contagious. Now off to try and get better pictures for an article I am writing. Karyn and Thane
