Yup, just like I said in the green room, I really like your pet entries. :)
I've had a total of three Seeing Eye dogs in my life, and reading your piece had me remembering the time between dog 2, Abbott, and dog 3, Marshall. When Abbott passed, it felt as though some of the best parts of my life had been ripped away, and I couldn't even imagine attempting to replace him with another guide. The turning point came at a conference where I was exhibiting, sitting on the floor an playing with another attendee's guide (Note to public, you're never supposed to do this!!!).
I'm very glad you now have a new little companion!
