[nagdu] Dog Massage at NAGDU Seminar

Sat Jul 11 02:21:39 UTC 2009

I never actually met the woman with the guide horse, but knew where they
were because I could definitely smell horse.
The first time we were near each other, I thought maybe it was my
imagination, or that I was getting a whiff of horse from the carriage horses
that are frequently available in downtown areas of major cities.
Then somebody told me there was a woman with a guide horse.  I wondered
whether it might be Anne and Panda.
I would have loved to have a conversation, but the moments passed, and I
didn't get the opportunity.

It just figures, Linda, that you'd know who the person was with the guide
horse that was at convention but you weren't there to tell us!  I would have
just loved to see the horse and met this person because I know so little
about horses and it's really hard to imagine a guide horse but anything's
possible. I suppose she gets asked a million questions 50 times over,
though, but I love animals and would have really liked to see her horse. I
missed the discussion at the NAGDU meeting on Monday, there was just too
much to do all at once and I had to attend another meeting at that time.

 Hey Linda
I read your post and had to laugh !!!! My mom and I talk about the guide
pony alllllll the time. I live in an area where people are really dumb i
guess and they always try to deny me access? either that or i? have a sign
on my head that says? pick me i want an access issue .... anyways before i
got my dog i was seriously considering a guide pony since i am a horse owner
myself but didnt . Npw my mom and I joke saying? WOW if i just had a guide
pony for 1 day think of all the trouble we would get ourselves into .....?
What I wouldnt GIVE to have mona and cali come out here for a day !!!! I
would visit EVERY? darn store I have ever had an access issue with and
SUBWAY would be first !!!!!

Have a great weekend

Oh yes...somersaults.  Lexia does at least 10 a day.  She loves to do them
in the morning.  Sometimes she gets stuck half way with her head down but
the rest of her body still right way up.

Hi Merry,
Thanks for the great pictures!  Do you have some sight and take the
pictures? I have some sight and LOVE to take pictures and video.  Being a
blind photographer, I get lots of funny surprizes at times (grin!).

When I was at Seeing Eye getting Landon, we did some doggy massage.  Landon
didn't want to relax - he got rowdy and rolled around and putting my arm
inside his mouth!  He even did a few forward rolls and somersaults.  He
still does these to entertain our Wounded Warrior patients at the Naval
Hospital.

Good luck in your new dogs - hope you get them soon!

Did you guys see the Muslim woman with the guide horse there? Her name is
Mona and her horse is Cali.  Mona is a good friend of one of my good friends
who lives in Georgia.

Take care,

Linda and Landon

  After the presentations at NAGDU's seminar some of the participants stayed
to be instructed on techniques of dog massage. Within minutes these pups -
who had been working so hard -turned to putty.  I have attached some photos
for those of you who may have some sight to see them; I thought you'd enjoy
them.

  Merry
