Hello all, 

I'm new to this list and the NFB, so I wanted to quickly introduce myself.
My name is Jameyanne Fuller. I'm from New Hampshire, but I'll be starting
law school at Harvard this fall. I have an eight-year-old female black lab,
Mopsy, from the Seeing Eye. I got Mopsy right after I graduated from high
school-literallyy I was the one with the car running in the parking lot at
graduation so I could get to the airport and get my flight to Seeing Eye.
Since then, Mopsy and I spent four years at Kenyon College in Ohio and then
went to Italy and spent a year teaching English in Assisi on a Fulbright
scholarship and also educating Italians who had no clue about service dog
laws because blind people in Italy usually stay home with their families and
don't do anything independently (it's a cultural thing, because they have
laws for service dogs like the ADA, but I think I changed a lot of minds in
Assisi at least by going everywhere with Mopsy and insisting on access).
Mopsy is still super happy and bouncy-maybe she's not quite as crazy as when
she was two but she can still hold her own with my parents' four-year-old
lab monster. Also, we're doing orientation and mobility in Cambridge to get
ready for school, and I can tell she is just loving being in the city,
because she just starts zooming along with her tail wagging like crazy. I
play the clarinet in my free time, and Mopsy sings along-there's nothing I
can do to stop it, and I really feel like she just wants to participate
because she learns the piece and only sings when I play. I'm also a writer,
and if anyone's interested, I've been doing a series of posts from Mopsy's
point of view on my blog here:

psy-the-magnificent/.

Can't wait to talk with and learn from all of you.

Jameyanne Fuller
