[NAGDU] update on GDA exceptence

[Lisa Belville]

Hi, John.

I think that's a perfectly honest answer.  Keep in mind that they will also 
ask you about where you live and what your current travel skills are like, 
as well as how often you travel.  They want to know that you're going to use 
the dog as a guide dog and not just a pet, so be honest about your strengths 
and weaknesses,

I graduated from GDA last July with my first dog from them but my third over 
all.  We had a mix of people in my class from very experienced dog users to 
people who had never had a dog before and didn't know that much about 
working with a dog.  They're used to dealing with people with all types of 
skills and needs.

The only appropriate time to yell out "I HAVE DIARRHEA!", is when you're 
playing scrabble. Because it's worth a whole load of points.
