[nfb-db] Guide Dog Expenses

[Catherine Miller]

Hi Janice:I'm surprised to hear about the costs you bear to keep Destiny healthy.  I had to choose between letting my cat go away and paying for expensive medical procedures.  But when I was accepted for training with a guide dog at the facility in San Raphael, California, the representative gave me lots of information about the very generous stipend that the facility awards to dog users throughout the career of the dog.  I just figured all the guide dog facilities did this.  I did not want the responsibility of having a dog in the end, and that was a long time ago, but I wonder if tthat might make a difference for you when you're ready to consider.
