Maggi,
    And I love you too!
     It appears, as Vixen said a long time ago, that we can expect each
of us who use guide dogs to defend our respective schools.
Unfortunately, it also seems that some of us, in our defense read words
in other's messages that just wern't there!
    This all started, you'll remember, when I said to Vixen, "When
you're number 1, you don't need to advertise".  This was supposed to be
a joke in response to her comments about the San Raphael line of
clothing.  Admittedly, it wasn't very funny, but hey, a joke is all it
was!
    Then Dan, I believe, started talking about Seeing Eye policy, as if
any of us has any real knowledge of it, and Greg and others jumped right
on it!
     Go ahead back and read all the messages in this thread and I
sincerely believe you will find that the only guide dog school getting
the bad rap here is Seeing Eye, exactly what I was asserting from the
beginning, so again, why is this?
                                                Willie
 

... BlinkTalk, Dr. Deb and Silver in Pittsburgh!
