[nagdu] Introduction and Questions

[melissa padron]

Sheila, 
Did you have to get a different dog to help guide you and alert you? Or did you train your guide dog to alert you? 

Just curious.

Hello, welcome to the list. I'm totally blind and my cane slid under a boat parked across a driveway and I hit it at chest level and was bruised for several weeks. I'd thought about a dog for a long time but after our son was in middle school I felt tthe timing was more appropriate than when he was small. I do better in snow with a dog. I'm now hearing impaired as well and feelmore confident about being out by myself with my dog not because of mobility issues but hearing what is going on around me.
