Hi Rebbecca, I love that you are calling Zeb "your yellow fellow." Glad things are going well so far, and I agree with what others have said about getting settled. You are doing great. Glad he is doing well at school. Holly and Pollyann

One of the reasons that I think that guide dogs should have their own seat on airplanes is because, when they do not, there would not be an air mask for them should the cabin lose pressure. No, I have never been in that situation, and probably very few of us, if any, have, but it is still one of those terrible thoughts that lingers in the back of your mind.

I was reminded a little of Gretchen but in her case she just apparently isn't enthusiastic about walking. This dog apparently just doesn't like going to work since it's fine walking other places. I wonder if it's the routine of the route the dog find boring or if it's just boring at work and the dog isn't interested in going there. The person on the list who submitted this got several suggestions but nobody knew exactly how to resolve the problem. It's apparently not a unique problem. It probably does say something quite positive about the intelligence or personality of the dog.

I always walk to work alone, but my son and I do frequently walk in the evenings for leisure. When my son was along, Monty was absolutely perfect with his brisk pace. I think he thought we were going someplace fun.

I teach a class one evening a week, go to the middle school one day a week and attend various meetings and run errands at various locations. Monty has his regular pace to all of these places. Some of them are close to where I work, but he must have figured out where we are going because he doesn't slow.

I don't think I'm particularly interested in taking a cruise with a group of other blind folks (it's not prejudice but I just don't think in those terms) but I do think it good that cruise lines have thought about this. I did wonder though how the dogs would like the cruise.

(May 27, 2011) -- Sea Princess recently hosted a group of 25 new graduates from Guide Dogs for the Blind and their owners for the day in San Francisco, to familiarize them with how Princess Cruises<http://www.princess.com/> can accommodate visually impaired travelers and their canine companions.
> >> The group was able to enjoy a tour of the ship and lunch in the dining room, while learning how Princess can provide for their needs and those of their dogs. The event was hosted in association with Dimensions in Travel, a travel agency that regularly organizes travel for Guide Dogs for the Blind clients, to give new guide dog users a feel for what to expect if they join one of the agency's group cruises, or travel independently. Since 2004, Princess has hosted 11 Guide Dogs for the Blind groups on cruises to destinations such as Mexico and Alaska.

"It's not all about what we see when we travel anymore -- it's all of our senses. That's what our relationship with our blind travelers has taught us. It's a different way to see the world."

> >> Aboard Sea Princess guests were able to test out many of the special features offered for visually impaired travelers and their dogs. For the dogs, the ships provide special life jackets, bowls of water in the dining room, and relieving boxes with favored cedar chips. Passengers also have specially translated menus and can enjoy reserved seating in the Princess Theater with room for their dogs. During a cruise, passengers and crew are also invited to meet the dogs during a designated play time.

I'm actually looking forward to going to the Seeing Eye next month and being a part of a community of blind individuals who are there fore a shared experience. It should be interesting and challenging and I suspect I'll learn a great deal from those who have gotten dogs before since I'm there for my first one. That observation I made to my friend was in no way intended to reflect prejudice, just a difference in experience.
