Andrea, Truman and Enrico 10/31/2006 | Katie and Chuck! I just listened to Song for VanDyke and can hardly type this through the tears. How beautiful! Have you approached anyone at GEB about letting you sing/play it on Saturday? I hope they say yes. It will be such a beautiful gift for his new partner. Congratulations again on the wonderful job that you did loving your yellow boy and giving him the best start possible! You should all be so proud! |

Joan, Cutlass and James 10/31/2006 | WOW, that is just wonderful. I didn't know that Katie sang or was so talented... Congratulations to you both for the wonderful job you did in raising him. |
Janet Sommerville 11/06/2006 | Hi Katie, I heard that graduation went great and there wasn't a dry eye in the house ... |
Tracy Benham 11/06/2006 | Katie, ... It was so beautiful! Gregg wants you to come and perform here - we didn't know you had such a great voice! (And both Gregg and I agree about the picture - definitely an album, I mean CD cover shot!) Can I send your note about your web-site so everyone can check it out? |
Gregg Dancho 11/06/2006 | Hey, Long time no see! OMG what a great song, both the lyrics and the singer! I'm not even going to mention the photo on the website! We should get you to sing up here, it would be great. Congrats on such a good job with VanDyke you should be proud. |
Peggy 11/06/2006 | WOW. It kept cutting in and out, but the song was still so much better than half the songs I hear on the radio. Also very moving ... |
Chileboy 11/15/2006 | I loved the VanDyke song. It's beautiful. The actual dog is probably pretty cool too. What a nice thing to do. I know going into it you were aware the dog was going to a partner so that tempered the giving away part ... but wasn't it hard to say goodbye to the pup??? ... my compliments on the music and vocals. |
Sue Brooks 12/06/2006 | Katie, Finally had a chance to listen to VanDyke's song. Brought tears to my eyes ... it's so beautiful. And you have the voice of an angel. |
Suzanne Vick 12/06/2006 | Hey Katie ... I just listened to your song for VanDyke, and I think it's beautiful. Your voice reminds me of Mary Chapin Carpenter ... Your harmonies are AMAZING! They really make the song that much richer. Who is this Ethan cat you worked on with the song? I have some tunes that ... I'd love to work with someone on fleshing a couple of tunes out... |
Greg Olinyk 12/15/2006 | Katie's gentle song brought a tear to my eyes. You two have been blessed with such talent. I'm glad to know you. |
Donna Conroy 12/15/2006 | I was listening to Katie's song and love it very much. It brought tears to my eyes to know that your dog graduated and will help other people to walk with guide dog ... |
Katie Daily 12/19/2006 | Wow! I love the rest of the story, and your website is really great. The "Song for VanDyke" is a wonderfully loving tribute, and what a ridiculously adorable puppy. That's amazing. On a side note, the Christmas Song is excellent as well. |
Linda Damato 04/09/2007 | Hi Katie - Just heard your song for Van Dyke and it's simply pure and filled with the spirit of all of our wonderful Puppy Raisers. Thank you for such a gift! Linda |
Exit4music 05/15/2007 | Nice melody, vocal and performance is top notch as always. What I like is the gentle sentiment here. Words of heart felt emotion in a mixed up world seeing is believing and believing that a dog can help get you there is cool... so is this song... thanks for sharing. |
Marjorie Jones , Olay And Bev 05/19/2007 | I love this song ! This captures so much of the heart . Guding Eyes for the Blind Puppy Raising is such a joyous experience ! The bit of sadness we experience in letting go is overcome with so much pride and excitement knowing what prayers are about to be answered for someone who will receive this remarkable dog . The beauty of watching these incredible dogs blossom into as you say in your song ,"Champions and Leaders around each bend " , is a life changing experience . Thank you to all involved in creating this song . God Bless You . |

Anonymous 07/23/2007 | Graduation from Guiding eyes for the blind, July 2007's class wasn't finished until we all heard "Song for Van Dike". It was wonderful. Meeting our guide dogs and puppy raisers sure hit home for me. Kate you have a wonderful voice and write such wonderful music. I truely wish that you were my puppy raiser but hey things happen for a reason. I'm sure that the owner that has Van Dike is truly blessed. Are you still a puppy raise?[LF] |
