[NAGDU] {Spam?} Guide Dogs And Canes

[S L Johnson]

I have a very valid reason for hating long canes.  My little three year old 
golden Eva still suffers from chronic infections in her left eye after being 
hit by a cane at our 75th anniversary convention.  At that same convention I 
was tripped several times by the long canes and suffered multiple injuries. 
That isn’t good for someone like me who already had to deal with severe 
arthritis and multiple sclerosis.  It would be nice if the cane user’s would 
be more careful when around our guide dogs.  I can’t imagine ever attempting 
to use a cane to work with my guide dog.  Oh, by the way, Eva isn’t my first 
dog to be hurt by a cane, it has happened to three of my previous guides 
over 40 years.  Vet bills for injured dogs are very expensive and loss of 
vision for a guide is traumatic.  Now you know why I hate them, especially 
the extra long NFB canes!!!  Oh if you don’t like what a person is saying, 
and it is the complete truth even if you don’t want to admit it, then just 
hit the delete key.  Stop being word police and stopping valid 
conversations.  This is not comunist Russia!!!  It is the United States of 
America where we have the  right to free speech.

Sandra and Eva, who hates all canes!!
