> Hello All,
> I met today, with the Trainers from GDA.
> We worked along Ventura Blvd, a very busy place, with winds in

> Wonder, crossed intersections, in a straight line, and in one 
> instance, stopped in the middle of the street because a car was 
> in the cross walk and he had no where to go.
> He is back to doing a great job, and is resting comfortably in 
> his usual spot in the Living Room.
> This is all great news, with him coming to convention with me.
> The bad news, is that he is getting mentally tired, so the

> more quickly.
> Even though he has the physical ability of a puppy, his mind is 
> tiring, which they said is usual for most working dogs.
> So, probably in the next year, depending on how he does, he will

> See you all in a few days.
