I saw on a guide dog video that you posted a comment saying you were applying for training with a guide dog – I was just wondering whether you were successful or not.
I’m going for a guide dog assessment this Friday, and am really nervous about it because I’ve no idea whether I’m going to pass, but I really hope I do
i miss my guide dog, she was soooo good. She had hip problems, so she didnt graduate, but she did go to an elderly blind woman who didnt move much. So she did still help the community.
I’m applying for training with a guide dog and I’m waiting like nuts for their answer, and if I’m admitted will be so looking forward to meet my buddy.
when my dog went blind, it was determined she had a systemic problem which ended up being lymphoma. i’m not saying your dog has it, but it may be something to have checked. ???
