[nagdu] some advice

Sun Sep 11 17:26:51 UTC 2011

Good grief, Nimer!  Why don't you go and hit Chantel over the head with a 
two by four! (sarcasticly said)

You got Chantel's asking for advice all wrong!  I was offended by how you 
treated her.  Chill out, man. You sure bit her head off and your post would 
scare anyone off from coming on the list because they really needed advice 
on deciding on getting a dog now or later.

Please be kind. I suspect that some of the people asking these kinds of 
things are young people just out from school and are entering their 
adulthood as far as living independently.  These folks need our 
understanding and kindness not a smack down.

Chantel, hope this goes well for you and your friend will come around to 
accepting a guide dog in the house.  Don't let insensitive people chase you 
from the list, either.  There are many of us old timers here who are happy 
to help a newbie or people trying to decide on a guide dog.

Hi,
I have done the research and a guide dog would certainlyu benefit me.
Second, she isn't my grandmother. We'ere not even related at all.
And, I am aware of the responsibilities of a guide dog. I didn't ask the
list for advice because I am uncertain of having a dog. I only asked because
I wanted your input.
Getting a guide dog has beeen a dream of mine since I lived in my old state.

Hello,

Nope, you shouldn't. In fact, you shouldn't get a dog at all. ust my
opinion. Now, I'll tell you why.

First, your grandmother has every right to refuse access to any animal
in her house while you're still living with her. So you won't be able
to impose your will on them. I guess you could try explaining to them
the use that a dog would be to you and that they are highly trained
not to be aggressive and to be calm and all that, but I doubt it would
work.

Second point: You don't want a dog. If you did, you wouldn't be
getting on this list asking a bunch of people you don't know for
advice. If you want a dog bad enough, you would not deal with someone
else imposing their will on you. Instead, you would save up the money,
become independent, establish alternate living arrangements and then
pursue getting a dog. The fact that you have to ask on this list means
that you aren't certain about wanting a dog. A dog is a huge
responsibility but it's one that I wouldn't trade for anything. It's
up to you to do the research, however, to make absolutely certain that
this is what you want to do if you want to do it. A dog is a living,
breathing animal. A dog is not a pet, a stuffed animal or a lovey
cuddly object that you can dress up in doll's clothes.

Thanks, and I hope I didn't offend anyone too badly with my bluntness.
