[NAGDU] Hello

[Jordan Gallacher]

Hi Janell,
Welcome.  I live in Louisiana, and I have had three dogs from a few
different schools.  As far as night travel goes, I subscribe to the same
theory as most cyclists, me included, do which is light up like a Christmas
tree.  I usually have at least two lights on me and two lights on Belto's
harness, but I try to always have four lights on his harness and four on me.
Make yourself as visible as possible.
Jordan

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!

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of
the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of
these.
