[NAGDU] Hello

[Danielle Ledet]

Hi Janell, Welcome to you and Sully. What a coincidence! I just came
across Occupaws on another Guide Dog Users site. I taught a
challenging but loving group of special ed students at one time
myself. I am 42, live in Louisiana, out of a job, divorced, and am 2
Seing Eye dogs out. Currently, I don't have a working partner. As to
night time travel, you could put orange reflective tape on the dog's
harness, or, there are lights that you can buy to put on yourself
and/or the dog. Guidelights and Gadgets and On the Go at the
BlindMiceMegaMall sells them. And of course, it goes without saying,
try to stick to lighted areas. Hopefully I have helped you in your
endeavors!
