Hello Jen, Nice to find you again! I was on your Christian Guide Dog Owners list a few years ago, the nI had to leave due to lack of time and serious computer problems... I'm glad to read that Bronze is still with you... For some reason I thought he was a GSD... How strange... Possibly because I had a GSD then... Nonw I have Pretty, a lovely yellow lab. She's five, and doing great with clicker!
