Dear Sarah,
GDF (Guide Dog Foundation) is in New York.  I don't know what 
dogs
Marsha has had, but GDF mainly has labradors and golden 
retrievers.  I
believe they also have poodles.

 Is Gdf in Florida?

  Most of the dogs tend to warm up to you pretty quickly if you
 spend a lot of time bonding with them.  The first day or two are
 the hardest, I think.

  Rebecca, thanks for the warning because I may have very well
 gotten
  discouraged if he/she didn't warm up to me right away.  So, 
good
 to know
  that if it happens, it's normal.  I will still keep praying
 though for a dog
  that is lovable and playful.

  Or you may not.  It may take awhile for the new dog to warm up
 to you.  My
  first one took some time to get used to me.
  I say this because she didn't want me loving all over her.
  I say it this way so you don't get discouraged if your dog is
 kind of
  distant towards you.
  The point that Tracey is trying to make is that you won't 
really
 be in a
  position mentally to do much work.

  Tracy, thanks for your suggestion.  I have actually done just
 that.  The
  company is aware of my training dates and realizes that I may 
or
 may not get
  much accessibility testing done while I'm in training.
 Thankfully, they are
  very understanding and generally let me work at my own pace;
 since they know
  I also work full time and have an eBay business with my 
husband.
 I'm very
  blessed in that respect.
  As for eBay while I'm at school, I'll mainly just be helping my
 husband
  relist items and/or print shipping labels; much of which I can
 do via the
  eBay app on my iPhone.  So, that shouldn't be a big deal 
either.

  My number one priority will no doubt be bonding and training
 with my new
  dog.  I'm sure I'll be spending most of my down time relaxing
 with and
  loving on him/her.

  Only nine days to go.  I can't hardly wait!!!

  Hope everyone is Having  a great weekend,

  Tonia

  Hi Tonia.
  You mentioned you plan to do some contract work during your
 downtime in
  class.  I just want to give you a word of caution.  If you take
 some work,
  don't make any promises as to when it will be done, or tripple
 the time you
  think it will take.  Even when I wasn't busy with actual
 training, there
  were lectures to study, grooming, play, and just plain resting.
 I got my
  first dog more than 30 years ago, when I was a lot younger.  I
 don't
  remember how much I needed to just plain rest my brain then, 
but
 I
  definitely do now.
  Also, if you bring work, be ready to drop it at a second's
 notice.  It's
  easy to get involved with something on the computer, and, when
 you finally
  surface, your new puppy has torn his blanket to little bits, or
 pulled the
  blanket off your bed, or any number of other puppy tricks.
  I like to play computer games, but I don't think I'll play any
 during class.
  It's too easy to zone out and miss something I should be
 noticing.
  Tracy
