>> Next week marks 7 years of Benitude!  7 years ago this weekend, I worked Echo over to the diner for a nice breakfast, came home, hung up her harness for the last time, and took off for The Seeing Eye during a tropical rainstorm that ended up knocking down trees and wires at home.  Jim Kuch had just started as TSE president.  I think his first official duty was to welcome my class. That was quite a class.  2 guys were sent home in disgrace for failing to act like civilized adults.  1 dog decided the guide dog gig wasn't for him, and showed it by starting a dogfight, and, next day, walking up to the edge of a subway platform and looking over the edge.  It was the most eventful class I've had since my first class at GDB, where one guy was a psycho and physically attacked another guy for turning down the radio.  I sure hope my next class isn't quite so full of drama.
>> Ben and I took a long time to become a good working team, about 2 years. And now we're in that sweet spot, where we know each other very well and work together as a real team.  Older dogs are the best.  The trouble is, it doesn't last as long as I'd like.  Here is where I envy a horse guide's longevity.
>> I'm not telling him, but Ben has totally earned his pension with full benefits.  He's entitled to spend his days lying on his back on the bed, if he wants, but I hope he will want to give me another year before retiring to the lazy life.
>> Here's to you, my handsome boy!
