Hello all, I loved that story about the dog visiting dying people.  I am, as you probably know, working with my third guide.  When I got my second, my grandfather was in the process of  dying of cancer.  I came home from college during a week off in the spring and my dog went directly into my grandfather's room and put her head under his hand.  He reacted more to her than to his wife, their children or grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.  When I went back to Guide Dogs in the summer of 2006, my grandmother, on the same side was dying and had been put on hospace.  I prayed that she would alive when I returned to meet her new four-footed great grandchiild, but it was not to be.  Twelve hours after I met Pollyann, my grandmother went to be with Jesus.  Pollyann was a great help during this time and I know she made what I went through doable.  Our dogs, I believe are much smarter than any people.  They just can't speak clearly.

> 2012 Client Training and Class Options
> After much anticipation, we are delighted to confirm plans to build a new, 
> state-of-the-art student residence building on our San Rafael campus, 
> scheduled for completion in the spring of 2013.
> The current dormitory is scheduled for demolition in early 2012. In order to 
> provide a seamless transition and maintain our quality services during the 
> fifteen months of construction all classes in California will
> be hosted from a local hotel, Inn Marin, located a few miles north of the 
> San Rafael campus in the town of Novato.
> In 2012, during construction, the San Rafael campus will offer 20 classes, 
> 12 two-week classes for first-time students or retrains and eight three-week 
> classes for first-time students or retrains depending on individual client 
> preferences.
> Two-week classes will consist of six students with a two-to-one 
> student-Instructor ratio, while three-week classes will consist of nine 
> students with a three-to-one student-Instructor ratio. Our Oregon campus 
> will continue to offer 24 two-week classes with a two-to-one 
> student-Instructor ratio for first-time and retrain students during this 
> same time period.
> Guide Dogs for the Blind will occupy 14 single rooms within a separate wing 
> of Inn Marin, a beautiful, single story, ranch style hotel.
> Amenities within each guestroom include: a bathroom with shower, a 
> television, wireless internet access, refrigerator, and plenty of space to 
> comfortably accommodate a guide dog. The front door of each room accesses a 
> beautifully landscaped courtyard with aromatic fruit trees, walking paths, 
> and a swimming pool. Each room has a backdoor that will access a parking lot 
> that will be transformed into a safe, shaded, privately enclosed 
> leash-relieving area that will facilitate a student conveniently stepping 
> out of their room into the relieving area, very similar to how the new San 
> Rafael student residence relieving area is designed.
> Two of the 14 rooms will be transformed into a kitchen and a dining room 
> where our current dormitory staff will prepare and serve the same 
> high-quality meals. The hotel has also graciously agreed to allow our 
> dormitory staff to assume responsibility for all housekeeping duties.
> Additional rooms will accommodate the needs of our instructional, nursing 
> and residence advisor staff.
> In California, class training will continue to take place predominately in 
> the same areas of San Rafael and San Francisco, and we will continue to 
> customize our program to meet the individual needs of our students. Due to 
> the success of our two-week program for first-time students in Oregon over 
> the past 18 months, we are very pleased and excited to offer this option to 
> first-time students in San Rafael starting in 2012.
> Guide Dogs for the Blind will continue to have graduations following each 
> class, the location of which will be confirmed soon.
> Guide Dogs for the Blind and Inn Marin have enjoyed a close working 
> relationship over the past several years and we look forward to this new 
> association. You can visit the Inn Marin website at
