[Cagdu] edison

[Ken Volonte]

Hi Louis.  I think it's a question of Edison's just getting to know as many 
people as possible.  He flits from person to person, and I'm just one of 
many.  I'm also the one with the food and the lunge line and the clicker. 
He's just settling in.  Four days into the house and he's already off leash. 
He finds a white rug and crashes with his nylobone and is happy.

    Guide work remains really good.  I still have some personal issues to 
work out in terms of PTSD and Bryant.  When Edison makes even a small 
mistake and I don't know what's going on, it feels like I'm right back on 
the streets with Bryant.

    But Edison is not Bryant.  He is a dog possessed of confidence and an 
understanding of guide work.  He is also a dog of great initiative.  I need 
this and it will enable to go to places Gulliver and I could never quite 
understand because Gulliver was too cautious for strange places.  Bye for 
now.  Ken
