Leila

Today we had a very special visitor come in and visit us.  Nicki brought her dog Leila in for us to meet. Leila is a very special dog because she is training to be a guide dog. 
Thank you so much Nicki for taking time out of your day to bring Leila in for us to meet and for teaching us about guide dogs. We loved meeting Leila and thought she was just wonderful!
