[nagdu] Working third shift

[Cindy Ray]

Well, yeah, but she can't have a pet in the building or on the bus. She wants a sort of guide, one that didn't quite make the grade. But, Barb, it would still be a pet. I think everybody would like a dog they could take with them, especially if they are working third shift. If you fear working third shift, you should not work third shift. And, as Viviana has said, you really should rethink the reasons you would want to receive a free, well trained, well breeded dog and training from a school. This is a huge investment for the school and, really, for you as well. Get a pet, keep it at home, enjoy it, and forget the dog thing if you are so sighted that you don't need a dog. If you are doing the dog's work, it would soon figure this out and wouldn't really do the work for which it was intended.

What you are wanting is a pet not a guide dog.  i, personally, don’t think that someone like you should be taking a well-trained guide dog just so you can bring it on the bus.  this is a mis-use of the guide dog in my opinion.
in all of your posts in the past, you have never once mentioned that you need a dog to guide you.  you keep on telling us how much sight you have.
just get a pet.
this is a big problem that we are having now.  everybody wants to bring their dog on the bus, so, we are running into many folks mis-representing service dogs.  and, now, we face regulation.
yes, you can lie and get a guide dog school to take you and give you a dog.  you can go there and pretend to let the dog guide you.  but, is this ethical?
and, is it fair to the dog?
even a toy poodle will let you know if someone is in the building.  
just my opinion.

Third shift I would be the only person in the building a big building, when he ask me I almost said I would do it if I could have a dog to be with me.  So I was wondering I am legally blind with good sight.  I want the dog to help me keep watch for people that shouldn't be there, and yes the dog would keep my company.
