Tracy,

Excellent idea!  A lot of times, I will hear from someone after a time and
suddenly realize they must have gotten their problem worked out.  Or others
will disappear, and I occasionally worry about them and their dog.

Over the past couple of years or more, I've asked more questions than I can
count, and I've gotten such great answers!  And I've learned an awful from
answers to other people's questions that I hadn't figured out to ask yet...

So after all that, I seem to have this guide dog thing that leads me safely
to and fro and doesn't get us into trouble or snag people's food off of
tables at restaurants or stick her nose in the groceries...  /grin/  She
goes under and stays out of the way and finds things and does down stay and
everything.  She still has hussy days, where she draws people in with her
dark, exotic poodle eyes, but at least she picks dog lovers and everybody is
happy.  /smile/  She's an awesome traveler, and has become a hiking guide,
which is way frun for me.  And she's done very well as I went through the
transition from trainer to handler, which I found to be very challenging,
indeed!  Again, I learned a lot from answers to my questions and to
discussions on the list and to talks with other guide dog handlers I've met
through the list.

Of course, the learning never stops, does it?

Recently on the NFB Computer Science list, we were asked to let the list
know what happened after we'd asked a question and gotten advice.  What
worked?  How did it turn out?
I would really be pleased if people on this list would consider doing
likewise.  So many times, one of us asks for advice or tells the list
about a problem, then we never find out what happened.  I care!  I want to
know!

Pursuant to this, a while back Buddy was really worried about Chet's
health, and had taken him to the vet.  What happened, Buddy?  Is Chet
feeling better now?  Sure hope so.  If I missed any of these answers by
not reading my email diligently, I'm sorry; but if I didn't, I'd really
like to know.  Still sending good thoughts your way.

And the rest of y'all, hey, let us know what happened if you asked about a
concern, please?

Tracy
