[blparent] New guide Dog.

[Judy Jones]

Hi, Shelby,

I also used my dog while pulling our girls in an umbrella-handle stroller. 
Those strollers are narrower, and when slightly tilted on theback wheels, 
are very maneuverable and safe.  Your dog will effortlessly work into 
guiding with toddlers and equipment versus just walking with you alone.

I also used to pull a shopping cart behind me while using my dog, and was no 
trouble at all.  I just made sure to have my dog properly lined up in the 
direction we wanted to go, and was careful to keep the cart behind me, also 
taking care on turns.

Judy

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
