  Radio Interviews & More

This first interview is about a seven minute radio interview done on Radio Station
with Kyros's Puppy Raiser, Jackie, and myself back in October 2008 on their Get About With Guide Dogs Victoria Program.
Incidentally, towards the end of the interview, I'm asked what words I would have on Edrick's plaque. I chose,
"My Black Knight we won the fight", as you can see here and at
I still miss my little Buddy and think about him every day.
 
On Sunday November 29, 2009, Bill Kirk from 3NRG [99.3 FM], had us in on his 4:00 to 6:00 Sunday afternoon radio program.
We talked about the Cheyenne CD, the website and Jackie spoke a little on Puppy Raising.
I have arranged these interviews into three separate parts.
The first part deals with the CD, website, a little history and includes some singing. Runs about 30 minutes.
The second part involves Jackie discussing Puppy Raising Kyros before he became a Guide Dog and a little about Guide Dogs Victoria.
Runs just over 10 minutes.
Finally, this third part includes Cheyenne being asked what career path she'd like to take up and reaching her teenage years. [GOD HELP US ALL!]
Runs just over 1 minute.
