Our first event will be a simple get-acquainted time with no topic nor agenda. In our first Yappy Hour, you are welcome to share with the group your favorite adult beverage, your original food creations, or ask a question about a dog training or behavior concern. In other words, its more about the humans whith guide dogs in their lives than about the dogs. One of our nontopics will be what we can do in the future. For instance, during the holidays, I facilitated a Zoom meeting in which I sent out an ingredient list and taught others how to make home-made egg nog. Maybe we can cook together! Anyone want to learn to make seafood lasagna? <br> <br> So, grab your device, download the Zoom Meeting app, and come network with guide dog users around the world!
