Cracked me right up! I've never met an unfriendly helper dog! Which is a good thing, I think. Yes, now that we are pet owners I've expanded my thinking on work + small creatures. Like children, pets should be put to work! Or at least not make more work for you by knocking over a full glass of water while you're trying to leave for work! Yes, that was in the library. Cracked me right up!

Madeleine may have been yelling some during that part. Eek, I met a former teacher of mine today and her helper dog looks *just* like the one in your picture! (But of course far more animated!) He seemed too friendly to be a working dog but I guess when the harness is off and the leash is on, all the kissing in the world is OK. I wish our dogs would do some work, but I digress...

Hey, we were thinking about you today -- we went to see Indiana Jones 4 tonight. We liked it! Did Ben get a little thrill when V. Gordon Childe was mentioned, or was that only for Old World nerds like myself? I know!

Losing your glasses is bad enough, losing your helper dog...terrible! Heh, that “dog’s” owner is probably having an even more difficult time!
