Susi (Ladalife) said… - Hi, so we both have dogs called Charlie (although mine is Charly). Charly became friends with an enormous black lab called Max who is a guide dog. We've now moved away from the area. We met Max when he was on holidays from his owner who was in hospital. A friend was looking after him. Max was the dopiest lab I've ever met and I have no idea how he was any help to his owner at all! LOL But I believe that once the harness goes on (or whatever work-cue the dog has) they do an awesome job. Your Charlie looks very sweet!

- Love the pix of you and Charlie. I know and respect deeply the service dog etiquette, but I always want to hug and pet them. I hope I'll meet Charlie 12/11. I promise I will restrain my impulses!....Head home Tues on Amtrak....Oh and I want to hear about the tram ride! Haven't done it yet....

thomas said… - Thanks for the friend request. I was a chef/cook for most of my working life. Retired because of gastroparesis. I would vomit in stressful situations. Busy friday or not busy (andthe sort of stress that comes from the restaurant not being busy)

- So delighted to get to know you and Doug, my friend! I'll talk to Manny and Andre and I'll get downtown to check out the little cafe we talked about. I will be back in Minnesota for the first time since my Mom died November 3-18, but get in touch before then anytime!!.....Judith

- Hey my friend---Emily just posted our notice. Look under Resources/Events in the TuD header. I asked her to also post it on the Embassy Page and at the NW Group where I think a lot of folks still go. We really need to get all our Oregonians to befriend the Embassy Page. I keep recommending it when I greet newcomers.....
