[NAGDU] Applying for first guide dog

[Becky Frankeberger]

Unless she went to one of the schools that train in the home area, Fidelco,
Freedom, Gallant Hearts, for examples. Then she could take half days. The
instructor could work with her during lunch and around her home and place of
work. 

Just giving alternatives. Oh and IDG in Seattle.

When I went for my first guide dog I did not have specific routes but
travelled throughout a large city using public transportation on a regular
basis.  I was a stay-at-home Mom at the time.  I have been working when I
obtained 2 of my dogs.  I think the time off is covered under the family and
medical leave act if you are in the U.S.  In a later email you said you are
applying for your first guide dog and looking for a job.  I would put one of
those on hold while you took care of the other.  If you believe the dog is
more important than the job right now I would put looking for a job on hold
so you don't start your job and immediately ask for time off to get the dog.
