[nagdu] guidedog and mobility skills

[debby phillips]

Well, I'm not always the sharpest tool in the drawer, not having 
the greatest sense of direction.  So you don't have to be 
perfect.  But you do have to be able to figure things out, or at 
least know the right questions to ask should someone offer to 
help.  And dogs can help.  After a dog has been with you a while 
they will often show you doors, even if they aren't the right 
door.  This helps a lot when going to an unfamiliar place, as 
happens from time to time.  But you do need to have fairly good 
skills.  But don't let anyone tell you that you have to be the 
"perfect" traveler.  That's just not true.    Peace,    Debby and
