Subject: [nagdu] She's back!

Hello All Listers,

After a long 4 months of my recovery, I have my puppy back. Emma has
returned from Seeing Eye today. A instructor came down this afternoon to
bring her. I will be working with that instructor for a couple of days. I am
very rusty on some things. And it is very strange to work with a puppy
again, not strange in a bad way, but in a good way. I love love having her
back. But some things have to start allover, like her ability to rome around
my apartment, feeding and parking schedules have to be strict for a while.
This way her transition will be smoother. We went on a walk already. I am
using a support cane, and it seems to be helping. Giving corrections with
one less hand can be more difficult, but doable. I will need to use it until
I can gain confidence that I am not going to fall, confidence in my ability
to walk with out being dizzy, and just for my safety for now. My gate in
walking is a bit different, I think mainly because of the strength in that
leg that I hurt, but that will get better. I do not know who was ore nervous
on our walk, me or her. But she did fine, and TSE did a great job working
with her to get her to slow down. She is very aware at my slower pace, my
lack of balance, and my need to be much more careful. I am so very very
happy to have her back. I have returned to the dog user world. 

Just thought I would update. Have a wonderful day!
Marsha and Emma
