[nagdu] always taking the dog was guide dogs

[Steve Johnson]

Hi,

Coincidentily, I did take my guide Misha to a funeral a week ago today.  My
dad suddenly passed, and he was buried with military honors.  Although I
knew that there would be a 21-gun salute, it did not register in my head for
some reason; guess it was a lot to handle as I reflect back.  It was my
dad's funeral though, and he would have wanted her there too.  She shook so
bad, and I can hear my dad say, what kind of a hunting dog is she anyway?
We are from a hunting fishing family and those thoughts consumed my mind the
rest of the day.


Steve & Misha

Linda,

Actually I've never taken a guide of mine to a funeral, so no bad experience
to relate.

Typically I am not in a mental state to be effectively working with my guide
dog.  I choose to save us both from undo stress.  I don't go to funerals
unless they are close family members.  It's not a dog thing, it's just a
weird Julie thing! *smile*

HTH
