It’s a small world.  I’m amazed that article showed up here!

        However, it is sort of vanagon related.  The little building I’m in front of was my first retirement project this past fall.  I built it mainly to store my camping and vanagon related items!

        Plus, once Ryan retires I’ll have two dogs traveling in my vanagon.  

        I know many folks that were expecting to train with their next dog.  They are in a difficult place because frankly even though the dogs main purpose is to be a guide for mobility.  They provide a great deal of emotional support.  And, who couldn’t use a bit more of that right now. 

Still come West River Westies event I wonder if I’ll be there with my retired guide and a white cane or a retired guide and a young successor dog.  
        Lets just hope we are all camping together before too much longer!
