Angie,
Lol. The same goes for my guide's teaching my roommate's companion
coonhound. Goind down the porch steps into the yard is a major production,
especially if I have something on my mind and am navigating by rote. That
is simply not good enough. /smile/

Hi Ron,
My retired guide Glaze still likes to watch out for me when I approach
stairs. She knows I can get down them fine; she just needs to make sure I
know where they are. I think she has taught Yani to do this. Sometimes, it
can take me a while to get
down a set of stairs; I have to convince both of them that yes, I really do
know where the stairs are, and I won't fall and hurt myself. LOL!
