Hello Larry, First I want to thank you for posting about Ozzie.
My husband and I moved to Florida from Michigan about 5 months
ago, and we know Ozzie. He is a great guy and we are praying for
him.
I am curious what you do with Holly during communion? I am going
to Southeastern one week from today to get my first guide dog and
I have a lot of questions, but I figure most of them will be
answered during training so, for now, I am keeping quiet here,
but I could not resist asking you about this since the first
weekend I will be permitted to leave with my dog will be Easter.
My husband will be coming to go to Mass with me, but we don't
know how other people will get through the pew if I leave the dog
there. And, if I take the dog up to Communion, how will I hold
the harness and take communion in the normal way using both
hands.
Thanks for sharing.
Carol

Exactly. Sometimes we have been gone for hours at a time with no
water. One
time, we were out for about 12 hours. When we got home she drank
a big bowl!
But, it wasn't hot and she didn't have to walk much. I have
gotten Holly
used to this sort of thing though. I don't know how it might
work with dogs
who are used to different conditions. Holly is happy and
healthy! Some days
we don't do much so she lies around or goos of a bit and eats and
drinks
when she wants. While working though she knows it could be
awhile! In fact,
she will see the harrness and go get a bite or two and a sip of
water
because she knows it could be a while. I alway carry a
collapsible water
dish with me in case she does need water. I also carry bags and
a towel in
case she wants to throw up! She almost did that in Mass once but
I got her
out of church quickly enough! That would sure have been
embarrassing!

I agree with everyone else. One thing I will add is if you know
you
are going to be busy and don't really have the opportunity to
take her
out, decrease her water allowance for the day so accidents won't
happe. You're super lucky that she held it in for so long! :)

I agree. My advice is, if your dog tells you that she has to
go, then
that
becomes the most important thing. It is a great thing that she
can wait
and
does not just go right there. Most malls have some grass, or if
your dog
knows, she can go on concrete. But it's really not fair to make
her
wait.
This is just one of those things that you have to do when you
have a
guide
dog-- sometimes, you have to interupt what you are doing, even
if it's
really
important to take care of your dog.

I hate to say it, but I kind of agree with the rest of what has
already
been
said. When they have to go, they have to go. How often do you
give Jenny
water, and how much does she drink? Lexia tends to drink when
she comes
in
from doing her business, and I only let her drink a little
because she
will
over compensate. Then, about an hour before I know 100% for
sure that
she
will able to go out, I let her drink all that she wants, which
is about
two
cups. I also give her a little more than a half a cup when we
get to
work
in
the morning.

Hi, Cathy,
I definitely do this when I can, but the most recent episode was
when I
went
shopping with a friend for a few hours. I did take her to go
before we
got
on the bus and went to the mall at 1PM, and at about 4:30-5:00
she was
doing
the pee-pee walk. This is not unreasonable, but I was just
wondering if
anyone had any ideas on what to do in that kind of moment.
After we got out of the mall and dropped my friend off at her
dorm,
first
thing Jenny did was to guide me to a grassy area, stand there
with her
nose
in the air, and wait for me to take the harness off so she could
go pee.
LOL
I was thinking more in those instances when there is no
opportunity to
take
her somewhere to go...

Hi Daryl,
I am thinking that it might be helpful if you give Jenny the
opportunity to relieve herself before she gets kinda desperate.
It is a
good
thing that she's able to hold it when she's obviously ready to
pop. I
used
to work at a college and I couldn't always get up and leave when
my dog
was
giving me the sign that she needed to go out. To solve this
matter it
just
helped to let her out to park before I became too busy.
Good luck!

Hi guys!
Quick question for you.
When Jenny really really REALLY has to get busy, and I'm not in
a
position
to take her to get busy, she tends to walk very very quickly,
and it's
all
I
can do to keep her on a steady pace, and sometimes I just can't.
While
I
understand completely why she is doing this - she has a special
"I have
to
Pee!" way that she walks - and I try and convey this to her, she
sometimes
just... won't.. slow... down.
Any pointers?
Daryl and the snoring Jenny
