[NAGDU] First Guide dog excitement and nerves.

[Jody ianuzzi]

Hello Sam,

Oh what you’re feeling is absolutely normal! I don’t think it matters whether it’s your first dog or your fifth, you always feel the same before going for a new dog. It’s kind of like having a baby!

When I went in for my third dog, I was packed a month in advance!

Congratulations!

JODY

I’m mostly excited, but I’m also a little nervous and there is a part of me that is questioning my decision. I assume that these feelings are all normal, but for you experienced guide dog handlers, I wanted to ask how you overcame all those feelings and emotions and if you had any advice for me.
