[nagdu] Free eye exam for Gipp

[The Pawpower Pack]

I know that this free eye exam thing is only for program trained dogs, or at least it was last I looked.  I did want to mention, for anyone close to New Orleans, that the eyevet who took care of my retired guideBrissy, will see all Service or guide dogs for free, no matter who trained them or which month.  
If anyone needs the information, please let me know.

> The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

>> Hi all,
>> 
>> Earlier today I signed up and registered Gipp for his free eye exam in May. There  were 2 locations near me that  participated in the free eye exams.Both places were in Akron, Ohio  and they are  Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital and Eye Care for Animals. 
>> 
>> I oridginally  called the Eye Care For Animals first  to schedule an appointment which I had to leave a message  on their voice mail and have them call me back. But the more I thought about it I wasn't sure how long it would take for the Eye Care For Animals  would get back to me and I wanted to make sure I got an appointment scheduled for Gipp for May before there weren't anymore openings available.
>> 
>> So I went ahead and called the  Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital and I got someone on the phone  and got Gipp's appointment scheduled for his free eye exam on Thursday May 7th at 3:15 PM.  This will be the first time that Gipp and I have participated in this free eye exam  program for service animals.
>> 
>> I have a few questions though. Since Gipp and I never participated in this before I know that the eye exam it self is free but do Ihave to pay for the office visit? Take care.
