[Travelandtourism] prayers for Odie, please

[cheryl echevarria]

Hi Bibi and Odie:
 
I know this is travel related but this is mostly a guide dog issue, I am a guide dog user myself. 
 
Just a little note here, dogs in general were not made to where shoes and socks, even if they live in extreme heat or cold weather. I know I hear it already from the guide dog users on the list.
 
Maxx was brought up in Ocala, Fl but was born at the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind, Inc. in Smithtown, NY; and when I got him in February 2007, he saw his first snow and ice and learned to walk on it without the booties and socks. I would recommend if you haven't already, talk with your guide dog school first and see if they have a better way of doing this without the shoes and socks, you don't want to ruin his feet with it on him, we all know that shoes for us are not the best if we don't use the right ones or if we wear high heels or something.
 
I would also recommend you keep these postings to our wonderful division, NAGDU, If it was related to traveling on a bus, train, car, taxi, cruise, or outside the country and maybe in our reports from our trip next week to the Southwest, which I am not bringing maxx along this time.
 
Would I recommend this posting.
 
Take care and I hope Odie gets better.

> Hi, all,
> Yesterday while we Odie and I were out and about, I decided to use my power chair since I'd have lots of traveling to do.
> I figured Odie would be much happier if I used my chair.
> When I do travel with my chair, Odie will have his shoes on his feet so if he were to accidentally get ran over by a wheel, it won't hurt him as bad where it can be worse without the shoes.
> When I took him to get his nails trimmed last night, someone at Dog savvy told me he had an inbrasion on the side of his back left foot.
> I know that he didn't get cut on anything, but suspect his shoes may have caused some irritation.
> I plan on getting nylon doggy socks that he can wear in the hopes that won't be happening again.
> Prayers for a speedy recovery would be greatly appreciated, please?
> Odie is going to have to take some time off from work with no shoes and although I do still have a few errands to run, it will be risky since having a convulsive grand mal seizure disorder.
> He will need to be left at home in order for the area to heal properly.
> I'd normally be at the bowling alley this weekend, but will be canceling that as well.
> Bibi and son Odie
