yep, its still their

I had a hole other post written. I debated writing about this before I wrote that. So lets just get too it. I have an online friend who is getting her second, or maybe third guide dog. What's the big deal, you ask? I applied for a dog knowing I didn't have the skils required. This was in 09. You have to know when to cross streets. You also have to be able to give the dog directions. You can't say, dog, insert name.... take me to the store. Another factor is you have to keep the dog working. This means having some kind of daily schedule. I didn't then, and I don't now. So when the person doing the home interview asked where all would I go with the dog, I knew I was in trouble. I was in more trouble still, when he took me to harding place and wanted me to if not cross, then tell him when it was safe to do so. We tried multiple times, and I could not do it. I knew this, but didn't want to admit I did. We talked a bit, then he left. wishing me luck. I thought, maybe I have a chance. A week or so later though, I knew I didn't. I got the rejection letter. While nicely written, I was heart broken. I'm still heart broken, but not angry at dog users. the last friend who got a dog got her over a year ago. Wow! really? To wrap it up, I'm happy for dog users, but am sad I'm not one. on another note, I go to fill out job apps on friday.
