[nagdu] Guide dogs and Rolling book bags

[d m gina]

Yes I have had a computer in my bag as I have the bag going down each stair.
You know how to lower it gently.
If not say that is your problem.
Smile.
I have done this bag thing for ever.
Even to learning how to lower a cart grocery cart that has eggs in it.
Yes I love my eggs and I will do all I can to make sure not one brakes 
except for breakfast smile.

>> Hi guys.

>> I really need your help with this one.  I just recently bought a
>> rolling bag.  My professors and friends had been encouraging me to get
>> one for a couple years now because of back pain.  My bakcpack was just
>> far too heavy.  The problem is that now I have no free hands when I
>> walk.  With the bag's handle in my right hand, and the dog harness in
>> my left hand, I am left with no extra hands for opening doors.  I'm
>> also having issues getting up and down the stairs.  It is rather
>> awkward, with the bag balanced on one shoulder and me gripping the
>> dog's harness.  I'm afraid that if I become anymore unbalanced, I will
>> fall.  If this happens, Brie may fear the bag and create more
>> problems.  I can tell already that she is uncomfortable with it.  Any
>> suggestions?
