[NAGDU] researching about getting a guide dog

[Star Gazer]

Tracey and Cindy have given you some good feedback. 
The truth is, you really don’t know until you do it if a guide dog is for you. 
That’s true of all types of things though. 
View it as any other transaction, picking a college, buying a house, getting married. 
Nothing commits you forever and it’s good to keep that in mind. 
If you don’t like using a dog, send the dog back. You want to like what you do. 
Do give it time to get over an adjustment period, but also know that you aren’t locked into anything. 

My dad says that nobody likes anything that is new. It’s worth remembering that.

Subject: [NAGDU] researching about getting a guide dog

Hi  I am just researching about the idea of getting a guide dog. I
know it may or  may not be for everybody in a sence because of work
involved. I  like to hear about people's experiences and ask
questions. I  know it is not for everybody but how do you really know
for sure weather it is for you or not for you you might think as a non
guide dog user that it may be an option but in a sence  may not fully
realize what is involved.  I have been suggested by it i has been
suggested by other people i should consider it and stuff like that in
the past and think it would be good idea for me.  but in last week or
so I decided to start looking into it all on my own. I know you do
need good o and m skills. i can walk at least 2 or 3 roots myself.
What is your experience been like with a guide dog would you
reckommend thatdog to those who feel like it would be an option to
them?  Would you feel a guide dog has made you even more independent
over time did you find you were less independent without one?   like
could you compair if it made a difference or not in your life as a
blind person.  and if you have a guide dog why did you even consider
getting one?
