[Blindtlk] Guide Dog then Came

[Merry Schoch]

I went from guide dog to cane due to my dogs being retired.  I have been 
without a dog for 1 1/2 and using a cane.  I am now waiting for the school 
which I have applied to match me with a dog.  While I have had working dogs 
I have had to use only a cane because I could not use the dog after surgery.

My husband is now using a cane because his dog has retired as well.  We use 
our canes when we don't feel it appropriate to have our dogs with us.

Merry
