[nagdu] Direct Communication With Puppy Raisers

[Cindy Ray]

No, TSE doesn't introduce raisers and the students. I am happy in some ways 
that they do not, though I would prefer to send a thank you privately and 
not have it come back to Seeing Eye to be sent. I used to fuss about it; I 
don't now because if I want that I can change schools, but I do think it 
would be nice to be able to privately thank them. As for keeping a puppy 
raiser in the loop, not sure I want to do that. That dog isn't theirs now, 
and I would rather we have a clean break of it. I used to think I wanted to 
keep in touch with the people who took my last dog when I retired it; and I 
did keep in touch some. Thought I would go visit him, but in the end I did 
not do this. I thought it was better to have a relatively clean "break" from 
him. That, I know, is not a universally shared opinion though, and I 
appreciate that many have a totally different point of view on it.
