  Welcome to the list.  I am Vanessa from Maryland wiht my fifth
  dog from The Seeing Eye.  he is a black lab named Griffin.

  I actually know at least one grad from The Seeing Eye's whose
 dog
  also provides balance.  The gentleman suffered an aneurysm and
  could not continue to work the dog that he had at the time.  
She
  was too small and lively.  Once he had sufficiently recovered,
 he
  was matched wiht a very large male lab.  I don't know if the 
dog
  needs to provide balance help now, but that was one of his jobs
  when he and the gentleman were teamed together.

  Hello list,
  My name is Mary Wurtzel, and I just joined this list.
  I have a male black lab named Felix who is a balance dog as 
well
  as a guide dog.  I went to the Guide Dog Foundation last
  February.  As far as I know, this is the only guide dog schl
 that
  trains dogs specifically to help with balance issues.
  I have been falling when walking for many years.  It would
 happen
  if I hit a particularly big crack inthe sidewalk, or if I got
 too
  close to the edge of the walk and hit a large edge down.  The
  falling became worse,  to the point that I feared falling more
  and more.
  I tried to get a guide dog in 2004 but was not allowed to stay
 at
  the schl and graduate.   The good thing that came out of this
  horrible experience was that I discovered the reason for my
  falling.
  I am blind because of being a premie, and I also have very mild
  cereberal Palsy.
  I have had this difficulty all my life and was never diagnosed.
  I grew up thinking I was just uncoordinated.  I worked ten 
times
  harder just to become an alternate cheer leader.
  Sorry for such a long story, but now I can walk again all by
  myself.  I am going quite fast, too.  Anyone who may know a
  person like my husband, Fred, knows there are some cane users
 who
  are very confident and walk very very fast.  I was always being
  left inthe dust.  Well, now Felix and I can give Fred   a bit 
of
  a run for his  money!!!
  Fred would never never have a guide  dog,  so blind people can
  have differences of opinion on the travel mode and still live
  together in harmony!! It will be thirty-six years on December
  4th.
  I will cut this epistle a bit short.  I have already found the
  list ideas interesting.
  We will be forming a guide dog division at our state convention
  here in Michigan in a little over a week.
  I am sure this list will provide us with issues which we can
 work
  on.
  Thank you.

  Sincerely,
  Mary Wurtzel
