[nagdu] guide dogs and sprained ankles

[Nicole Torcolini]

Even if you cannot walk around with him, try to spend time with him. If he
has a favorite treat or favorite toy, you could give that to him when he is
around you. Also, even though dogs need attention, your roommate should be
helping only in the ways that you ask and not doing things that will make
Dallas become attached to your roommate. If you really wanted to test if he
still listens to you well, you could both call him and see which one he
comes to.

Subject: [nagdu] guide dogs and sprained ankles

Hey all,
     I sprained my ankle while out on a walk today and am now on crutches.
As a result, I am worried about the bond between myself and my dog.
Currently, my roommate has to take Dallas out because I can't handle him and
crutches at the same time. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas as to how
to keep my bond with Dallas up from a chair because I definitely don't want
him getting too attached to my roommate.
Thanks,
Aleeha and Dallas
