[nagdu] New fidelco dog

[cheryl echevarria]

Wonderful Alex.

Since I am still on my first guide dog, I received Maxx back in 2007 and we are celebrating 4 years together this past February.  I felt the same as Alex when I got my dog, I am a sensitive person anyway, so is nelson, he cried when I finally got my insulin pump last week.

It all depends on the person, I did cry when I learned how to use my cane, joy at first then frustration until I learned how to do it properly.  Being someone who was born sighted and didn't really get any training until 2005, because my life was going past me like anything, losing my vision and then finding out that your kidneys have failed you, so learning to keep alive first was the most important thing, so when I had my transplant in 2005, and had to learn again like a baby how to work with a cane, I still fall, but we all do at one time or another, and then I wanted a guide dog as well, along with my cane, which I keep both with me at all times.

So I cried when I became more and more independent.  When I advance myself, and when I learn something good.  Things mean different things to others, so you are not sensitive that you didn't cry when you got you dog, that is okay.

But, I get emotional because someone took the time to raise money for this dog so I can have it.  Someone took the time to raise it, so that I can have it.  Not everyone gets one. But us on this list either has one, had one, or help get one for someone.

These are emotional things for me and for others.


The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!
