[blparent] New guide Dog.

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Dogs are very instinctive.  The dog will most likely pick up on the pace 
thing without you even teaching it to him or her.  Mine did.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may 
kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

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
