Hi Annie! It’s funny, since my blog has become more popular, I have not been as obsessive about 43 Things. There is a group of “dog bloggers” (most of whom are on my blog roll) and we all read each others’ blogs and comment on them frequently. I feel like they are “fans” and I want to keep them happy. :)

Rockwell has certainly grown since I got him. I don’t know how big he will get but I am thinking at least 80 pounds. But he will be much taller and thinner than Uma. We signed an 18 month contract with Guide Dogs and his birthday is June 20. I am thinking he will be with us into the early Fall. They will assess him to see when he is mature enough to commence training. I wondered if he wasn’t very bright but then I developed my “sensitive dog” theory (the second Jan. 7 entry). I just hope he adapts to kennels because sometimes, that alone can flunk them. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start taking him to class with me and we’ll go more places and I hope he will toughen up a little. But he’s a sweet-natured dog.
