Your new 'babies' are getting so big. Thank you for sharing pictures with us. Somewhere I read/saw of a blind person who used a mini as a seeing-eye aide. Other than the obvious, although it can't be much larger than a golden or lab, they have many of the same qualities as the dogs; loyal, very loving, extremely smart. I think it would be a great choice. It seems they were having quite a problem being admitted to places, even where seeing-eye dogs were allowed. Not fair.
