Hi again, list.
Just writing to clear something up. Rebecca, I'm one of Sharon
Howerton's students in her parenting classes she teaches at Hadley (at
least I try to be since I feel like I never get time to do
assignments). Anyway, I had asked her a while ago about how to handle
a guide dog and a new baby, which sure can be a challenge. I think all
Sharon meant to do was to let me know she was glad things went well
for me, not to say anything about anyone else. Dealing with a baby and
guide dog is OK for some people and may not be what other people
decide to do; that makes sense to me. I just wanted you to know more
about the history of my working with Sharon and to tell you that her
comment probably was just a response to my concern about how I could
make this work, not a judgment about anyone else's situation. Does
that sound right, Sharon?
