[nagdu] Those going into class and others

[Shannon Wells]

Marsha and all,
I had thought of blogging about my time in training. I have a blog already, but sad to say haven't updated in in a month or more. I find a lot of folks are interested in reading about someone else's experiences, and it helps me to write things down. There was a lot that happened when I got my first dog that I wish I had wrote about so that I would remember it better, and that is another reason why I thought of blogging.

Another reason is that so many sighted folks just have no idea what our dogs are capable of. Some think they are given super powers and can read our minds, while others think they are glorified pets. I think writing about my experiences might clear up some issues. Also, maybe family and friends can feel they are a part of the whole experience, and maybe I can avoid the whole thing of"oh you can't pet the dog because this or that".

What do y'all think? Like Marsha, I want to know if anyone would be interested in reading what I have to say.

One I am currently a full time student at Temple. And I know some of my classmates might want to read when I am there. Plus because of the different training my dog will get, all the unique things I will be learning. If I were to journal or blog, whether live or afterwards, is anyone here interested in reading?
