Yeah that would be good, because the trainers really don't want 
me to walk Wizard to the bus stop because there's no side walks 
and people fly by us really close at like 80 mph.  I was 
disappointed when the trainers said I couldn't walk anywhere if 
it's by Main Street because there's no sidewalks there.

Hi Tracy and Everyone,
Tracy you couldn't have said it better.  I can't imagine not 
going out with
my dog.  Anna hardly is ever home as we are out and about every 
day.  I have
in past years walked a mile or more to bus stops and trains.
Sarah you should also everyday take your dog out for  walks to 
keep up the
dogs training.  You should also contact your Commission of the 
Blind or your
Independent Living Center in your area about jobs, training and 
etc.  Also
volunteering is something you do to get out..
Marilyn and Anna.

 Sarah, you don't have to wish you knew the bus schedule.  You 
can easily
 find it out.  Call the bus company, or go online.
 You have to take action for yourself.  Life will not come 
waltzing into
 your house and take you by the hand to lead you out.  You have 
to go out
 and get it.  It's not easy, but it's totally worth the effort.
 Otherwise, you might as well send Wizard back to the school to 
work for
 someone else.
 Having nothing to do and no place to go all day every day is my 
idea of
 hell.  It's bad for your body, mind and soul, like Lyn said.  
But only you
 can take action to change the situation.
 I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but that's the way it is.
 Tracy

 wow that's cool.  I just wish I knew the bus schedule or had a
 job to go to.

 Sarah and Wizard
