I signed the transfer of title while at the school.  How did 
Leone do when you did sidewalkless training? Wizard kept pushing 
me into the street but the instructors either weren't watching or 
didn't say anything.  But yeah, I've hear^ of most schools giving 
you ownership of the dog upon graduation.

Some schools offer complete ownership at time of Graduation.  I 
ahve
heard some schools make you wait 2 years.
You know After my fall and hospitalization when Leone pulled me 
in a
dog distractiona nd she was taken from me for evaluation and 
re-train
the ownership contract was changed for another year.  So here I 
wait.
I actually forgot about the ownership contract.  so make sure you 
do
the signing and sending it in and everything right on time.

 Hannah,

 i am sorry you won't get to keep her.  That really stinks.  If 
my
 memory is serving me correctly, Princess is a poodle, right?
 There are other schools who use poodles, where you can get
 ownership.  Not that I am plugging for my school, but its
 something to think about.  I have also had a pup, and had to 
send
 her back to the school because of that ownership thing.  I won't
 go back to a school that doesn't give ownership every again.

 When is your semester over? Nor did I realize that you were
 living in dorms.  I am sorry.  atleast for me, I commute to my
 university so I can escape that life.

  Thank you marsha and all.  Yes, university life is very
 difficult for dogs
  and it does take a lot.  Guess Princess doesn't have it either.
  She is only 3 acording to Pilot, and they seem to want her 
back.
 I haven't
  really been able to connect with them because they are not
 calling me back.
  I can't have a pet in the dorms and I can't really afford to
 keep one
  either, but I do have very close friends who would love to have
 Princess.
  I'm going to do my best to try to keep her, but since I don't
 have ownership
  of her and she is only 3, I think that she'll get some more
 training with
  Pilot and go work with someone else.  Maybe she'll do better in
 other
  environments, who knows...

  Hannah,


  Awwww I am very very sorry to hear about this.  Its so hard to
 retire your
  parnter at any point.  Espically during your semester.  I have
 been there done
  that, not sure i want to do that again.

  I am learning as a university student myself it takes a very
 very special
  pup to be able to put up with university life.  My university
 also has many
  of the same challenges as yours.  Squirrels, bikers,
 skateboarders, thousands
  of students, cars, trucks, subway, train, birds, and more.  The
 pup so far is
  doing great, emma could not.

  I wish you luck.  Will you keep Princess as a pet? And will you
 get another
  guide? Just curious.

  Hello all,
  I hope everyone is doing well.  I haven't been posting or
 keeping up
  with everything recently because this is my first quarter at UC
 Davis
  and things have been pretty crazy.  Now that everything is sort
 of
  falling in to place, I wanted to welcome everyone who is new to
 the
  list, the people who have returned, and an update about
 Princess.
  Unfortunately she has not improved much since I last posted
 about her
  work.
  it has been almost a year, and campus is a pretty busy place.
 We have
  a lot of distractions - all the students, over 20,000 bikes, 
and
 the
  millions of squirrels that we pass every day - so Princess is
 not
  doing so well.  I thought that perhaps being here for over 3
 months
  would help, but it has not, and she continuously walks me in to
  objects, wants to run after the squirrels or students, and 
seeks
  attention from everyone who says something along the lines of,
 "awww! Cute
  doggie!".
  With all this in mind, I have decided that I will retire her
 because
  of all the stress for her and for me.
  I know that it will be a great loss since we've bonded, but 
I've
 also
  had a lot of time to get used to this idea.  I don't know when 
I
 will
  retire her because Pilot has not been very good about returning
 my
  calls, but I do know that it will happen very soon.
  I'm sure many of you have gone through this before, and I just
 hope
  that I won't be too depressed over it.
  Once again I hope everyone is doing well with your guides, and
 happy
  Thanksgiving! :) All the best, Hannah
