I'm not the biggest fan of Facebook or any other social media outlet for
that matter but I can see its uses so from time to time I post a few lines 
that you may find useful or even interesting.

After not hearing anything from guide dogs directly regarding a replacement
for Kraken since his retirement 16 months ago at the end of September 2023 
I received a call out of the blue offering me a potential match.

Sadly after a discussion with the dogs trainer I felt that this one was not 
for me, an extremely difficult decision to make as there can be no idea of 
when another match may become available.  

But I hope the dog I team up with will be my close companion for possibly 
the next ten to twelve years so it has to be right.
