[Ag-eq] german shepherds

[barbandzoe at comcast.net]

Hi Jody.  When I was growing up we could not have animals like dogs because my mom and dad didn't want to spend the money.  we didn't have much.  I would go to places where people had guide dogs and I loved to watch them work.  Plus I think they are beautifull to look at.   I fell in love with the breed.  After I moved out and went to school I couldn't have them in the dorm.  and then the first place I moved we could only have little dogs.  and the gal I was living with had two.   



Now I live in the city and we can only have three pets per house, we have four.  I have cats and she has dogs.  



I don't know why I haven't gotten one yet, the timing just wasn't right. 

Now that I don't have a job I have the time to train one. 

If I lived by myself I would have both dogs and cats, but this way her dogs can sleep in her room and my cats sleep in mine.  and no one eats out of the litter box.  

As I wright this it seems silly, but one of us had the dogs and one has the cats, my room mate grow up with dogs so it made sence at the time for her to train and raise the dogs.  



I am hoping to get a job in a vet clinic or animal shelter soon.  then I can hind a nice one to take home.

Hi Barb, 

With all due respect to your eye doctor, they are the LAST to know what 
services are available for visually impaired people.  many people, including 
eye doctors think you have to be totally blind to get a guide dog.  As long 
as you are legally blind and you can benefit from having a guide dog you are 
eligible. 

I am not toally blind and I qualified.  Why is this the only way you can 
have a dog?
