[NAGDU] if you had a magic wand

[Charlene Ota]

They would magically fit on the floor of all vehicles comfortably. I have a
big dog and I love him dearly and kind of like his large size, but boy, it
is a problem in vehicles sometimes.  Now with his age, it's even more of a
problem and a lot of times he has to stay home just because he can't get in
them any more because of joint pain. Bummer since I can participate in the
Uber testing with him because there are too many times people show up in
vehicles that are too high for him to get into now. Maybe that's the biggest
wish, Julie, the dogs not get old so quick, darn it!!! I'm sure it has to be
the hardest thing about having a guide dog, they're the best companion
you've ever had in your life and they only are with us a few years.

A magic wand. Hmmm! I would have it wave away Fisher's dog issues. They made
me retire him too early. I could have always used a gentle leader and it
would have helped, but it wasn't an end all. Every time someone from TSE
came, the other dogs were in hiding. 

I would have them never, never have accidents in the house and do away with
the lab type scavenging.

I would never again have to worry as to whether I was going to have to argue
about if the dog was welcome somewhere or not.

People would never pet the dog, and when the kids hadn't noticed the dog
under tables in the restaurant, no loving parent or grandparent would say,
"Look at the doggie under the table." And no tantrums from kids who I
wouldn't let pet.

I want another dog about now, but Fisher would be insensed.

What is the biggest pain about working with a guide dog?  or if you don't
have a dog yet, what is your biggest worry about getting and working a guide
dog?


And if you had a magic wand and could make that problem go away, what
exactly would the magic wand  do to make the problem go away?


Just procrastinating anything productive and trying to have a little fun 
on a Saturday morning!
