>> Hello all,
>>
>> I have been home just over a week now with my new guide, Cruz, from
>> the GDB Oregon campus.  Cruz is a beautiful yellow lab and an
>> excellent (though not
>> perfect!) guide.  He is undoubtedly a perfect companion and we are
>> getting on very, very well.  He is my first guide and I'm very happy to
> have him.
>>
>> I've been taking him all over town and he does great, but has a
>> tendency to get distracted and start sniffing around.  He is also very
>> fond of everyone and is all to ready to jump all over people given
>> half a chance.  But those are pretty minor things, at least to me, and
>> in general his guide work is very good.
>>
>> Our next big challenge will be a trip into New York City, as I live
>> nearby.
>> I have a couple of concerns on that - getting him through subway
>> turnstiles and also finding a reasonable place to relieve him.  If
>> there are any New Yorkers out there who might have suggestions I would
>> be grateful.
>>
>> Ted
