Kelby,

Welcome to our list. We have lots of different people with lots of different
experiences and different ways of thinking about things and different ideas
and support to give. 

I'm Marsha, working my semi-retired guide Emma. She is a GSD who is 6 and
half years old. She is retiring due to health issues and stress. I received
Emma from Seeing eye, but my first guide was from GDB. We live in
Pennsylvania, with my hubby, and are full time students at Temple
University. 

I am also the moderator of the list, so if you need help or have any
questions, please don't hesitate to email me at marsha.drenth at gmail.com

Hope you like our list,
Marsha

Hello, everybody!

I am a newly graduated guide dog user from Guide Dogs for the 
Blind (Oregon Campus.) I have a beautiful yellow lab named Elvis, 
and I will be taking him back to college with me in several 
weeks.  I hope that this list will be a good place to discuss 
guide dog use, training, and care.

I do have a question, and it may be a silly one.  Does any"one 
have suggestions about how to help a dog acclimate to a warmer 
climate? Oregon is significantly cooler than where I live in the 
summer and I don't want to overstress my dog.  The school gave me 
a set amount of water (3 cups) to offer Elvis at each watering.  
Is giving more water ever advisable in this situation? Thanks!

Kelby S.  Carlson
