Margo,

It goes to the founder and CEO of C.R.A.P., where else?  I hear Julie looks
dang good in that fancy new faux fur coat of hers!  Wonder if she'll let me
ride in her chauffeur driven Maserati as she speeds away from amazing new
mansion that just sprang up in the farm country of Nebraska?  /lol/

Dang!  How come I never think of the good ideas until it's too late? /grin/

>> Heya all!
>>
>> I've decided to start my very own, brand spankin' new guide dog program! 
>> Of course it will be totally state of the art.  The very latest in 
>> offering blind people all the rights and privileges they so want.
>>
>> All training will happen in your home environment.  We will drop off the 
>> dog to you on Monday morning with a booklet describing the use and care 
>> of the dog.  since you are very skilled in blindness alternatives, this 
>> shouldn't be a problem.  this is for your convenience.  should you have 
>> questions please call the number in the booklet and leave a message. 
>> Someone will call you back when we feel like it.
>>
>> The trainer will not disturb your normal routine during the home training

>> process.   You will be free to take the dog wherever you like as soon as 
>> you like, immediately after signing all the release of liability forms. 
>> If you or the dog experience a mental health crisis please seek the 
>> services of a professional.
>>
>> None of the dogs will be given health testing or hip X-rays.  You, being 
>> a competent blind person, will be able to administer any complicated 
>> medical interventions the dog may need.  Please see Appendix A in the 
>> booklet for troubleshooting tips.
>>
>> In line with our forward philosophy on blindness, we firmly believe that 
>> all blind people, regardless of their background, experience, available 
>> time or inclination can be competent dog trainers.  We therefore will 
>> provide only the barest minimum of training.  Should you experience 
>> difficulty, please see Appendix B of the booklet for suggestions.
>>
>> We do not want to be viewed as a charity for the blind because this would

>> be demeaning to blind people.  We therefore charge $75,000 for each dog. 
>> We are sorry that refunds or guarantees are not available.  The purchase 
>> price must be paid in full before delivery of the dog.
>>
>> In keeping with our hands off approach to the training experience, your 
>> privacy and independence, we will not be offering any follow up services.

>> After dropping off the dog to your home, you will never again hear from 
>> any of our staff.
>>
>> Sincerely,
>> The C.R.A.P. Guide Dog School
