I spend an inordinate amount
of time with them and I take them everywhere I go: when I am on a date, they will be there too; they are with me all day when I go from house to house to give lessons; they are my «business card» when I give a seminar or need to show a customer how to do a
certain exercise; they are my advertising when I want to show
people my skills and knowledge; they often will sleep on my bed; they will climb in my lap when I am typing away at my computer; they will go on every vacation I take (at 2 years
of age, Dillon, my Doberman, had over 50,000 miles on him, going everywhere, from Seattle to Mt Rushmore, Yellowstone, British Columbia, Banff and Jasper, Los Angeles, and all points in
between... and about 200,000 miles on him when he passed away at 6 years
of age).
