[blparent] New guide Dog.

[Wendy Meuse]

Hi Shelby:

Nice to meet you.  Congratulations on receiving your first dog.  They are all special but I think that the first dog is just the 
most special of all.  When I had my first dog Eager, a golden retriever, I pulled a stroller behind me.  I used a msnuggly backpack 
before she got too big for it ehehe!  Then I used one of those wrist things that you attach to your wrist and around baby's waist. 
It has a chord like a telephone chord.  your dog though probably will have to learn how to walk two different paces.  One for your 
regular pace when you are alone, and slower when you are walking with your toddler.  This was 38 years ago though so people might 
have some better ideas.

Hello all,
I recently returned from Leader Dogs for the Blind with my first dog. Her name is Jackie and she is a 17 month old black lab golden 
cross.
Things are going pretty well. Jackie and Jaxcen already love each other. Jaxcen is two years old and thinks she should play with 
whatever he has. :)
Right now I put him in my Ergo on my back and we go. If any of you have different siggestions of how to travel with a toddler and a 
guide dog please let me know.
Best regards
Shelby
