Sure.  We train dogs to find missing persons and then donate them to
law enforcement and all over the country.  We have recently added
other types of dogs such as dogs that find guns and drugs in schools.
We've been doing this since 2003 and have got it all running very
smoothly with the exception of being able to find any major source(s)
of funding.

Wow.  This sounds so much like my situation.  I deplore talking to
people I don't know.  Especially people I have to ask to do something
for me (like donate time, money, etc).  My friend is definitely our
mouthpiece.  He can talk to anyone about anything.  Me, I fade into
the background--only sticking my head out when I am forced to (which
he does to me on a somewhat regular basis).  It scares the heck out of
me, but I always feel better about myself after I do it.

You can still talk to your friend about what you want.  You just have
to listen a little more intently for his responses.  Remember, he knew
you could do this or he wouldn't have taken on such a project with
you.  Btw, my friend has some rather big health issues that make him
being healthy long enough to see what we are doing through to a
financial success rather doubtful.  It  terrifies me to think that I
might be left with trying to run all of this without him.  I doubt my
abilities.  But we have already done so much good and made a
difference in so many people's lives that I couldn't let those doubts
stop me.

You are welcome, Nahanton.  You deserve it. :)
