[nagdu] question. about mya, and i.

[Star Gazer]

Sounds like her dog mostly follows another guide dog and the school wants
her dog to do more leading. 
Also sounds like she's struggling in that her dog wants to work but can't
due to the eye condition. 
Rhonda, you're a big girl. You're "on the ground" as they say, the school
isn't. If your dog is acting strangely, you not the school need to decide.
The school really doesn't get a vote. 
And yes, this does totally suck. It's miserable when retirement is looming.

I'm not sure what you are saying here. I thought the dog was having vision
problems. She is always supposed to lead if she can, right? But if she is
having a problem with that. Maybe I'm not getting this.

and you can still love her. I hated when I had to retire Spencer, and
especially when I gave him away. It almost killed me, but like any other
grief, it ebbs and flows. It was a long time before I could talk about when
I gave him away without crying, and I could still if the day is just so.
