I am hopefully about to train with my first dog in June. As I like to gather as much info about everything I do before I do it, I was very interested to read your diary of training with Africa. My fiance has a guide dog (his fifth) but getting him to recount the minutae of his training with his current lad two years or more ago might prove more than he could bear. So to read about what you did and when and where in such detail was very absorbing. Thanks for sharing it. Hi Michael,

Your stories are always so interesting both because we are personal friends and because I find the whole guide dog concept so moving and interesting. Just this morning at church, I was talking about Buffy, another breeding dog that is at GD to determine if she will be bred just now. She is a lovely, snowy color and always bhaves perfectly in church...no surprise. Her owner was interested in Fantasia and both he and I wonder if her puppies have been born yet. God bless you for sharing so much of yourself with so many of us, Mike. Yesterday, Jim and were talking about why a loving God allows people like him to have received brain damage, our friend Carol, now entering a more advanced stage of Alzheimer's and people like you as well. There is no doubt in my mind about the reasons. All of you contribute to the rest of us and are all the more precious because you do so.
