I Received Good News

Hello, I hope you are all doing well. I know it's been well over a month since I last posted, but I am still here - have been quite busy. He is not here yet, but my dog will be in about a month. This dog, by the way is my guide (seeing eye) dog. So far, I've showed about a third of my neighbors his picture and informed them that what I've said all along (these past 2.5 years) is true. I am getting a guide dog. I can't wait to see how "The Delusional One" will react when he is finally here. I know she won't be happy living next-door to a 110-LB dog, when the pet dog weight limit is 45.

I wish there were never weight limits on dogs, some of the really big ones are more suited to apt life than chihuahuas or other high strung small terriers

Don't I know it! And bigger dogs don't tend to get overly excited and piddle all over the floor.

He's a Bouvier des Flanders - or, as we 'Mericans might say) Belgian Cattledog.

I am glad you are getting closer to getting your guide dog. They (management) won't use his size to get rid of you, will they?

No, it's against local, state, and federal law for them to do that, but I wouldn't put it past the delusional one and others to try to blame something on my dog or me.

I hadn't heard of place with a weight limit for dogs. What is the name of your new companion?
