On 30 July, my world changed in a positive direction as I brought home my guide dog, Jonah.

Of course, Jonah’s life changed as he started living with two Australia Shepherds.

However, as a proud Labrador graduate of training at Guide Dog For The Blind, he is ready to take on any challenge.
I am sure you do!

Jonah will know his job from his training . Your job is just to be clear in what you ask him to do and be consistent with it. That’s what works for horses anyway; clarity and consistency.

John, how exciting — for all of you!!!!
How old is Jonah?
We are uncharacteristically busy for the next week or so, but after that maybe you and Sandy and your canine trio could meet us somewhere (maybe not Sheep Creek, as it is scattered with Very Smelly Dead Salmon) for a walk and visit?
I’ll cc Sandy, as well as your other e-mail on this.
What a delightful bit of news!!!!!!!
Love,
Larri
