Joining the minority view, I agree. I was very pleased with my training 
experience at Leader and though having ownership does carry some weight and 
at the time I went to Leader, which was 2004, I owned my dog, I will 
probably go back there for my next guide dog.

>>
>> The Podcast is now available on the ThruOurEyes Web Site. A short cut

>> The second header for the JAWS and Windoweyes users is what to look for.
>> The
>> header is titled 122 - ThruOurEyes with Joe Ruffalo
>>
>> This above link will actually launch/start the Podcast on your computer.
>> To download the show, i.e. to save the show as a MP3 file, you would

>> place to put the file so you can find it Then bring your focus to that
>> folder and highlight the file and hit enter.
>> This will start your Windows Media, Quick Time, etc. If nothing

>> Navigate
>> yourself through the Windows Tree structure to the file you just
>> downloaded and press enter.

>> Unfortunately if none of these work, your choice may be to click on
>> the link and listen anytime you want to hear it on your computer only.
