[nagdu] conflicting feelings

[Hannah Chadwick]

RJ,
I am in the same position as you, and I've learned that I shouldn't care too
much on what people want for me when it comes to getting a dog. Some people
tell me a dog would be great, but others are against it. So I think it is
best to decide for yourself on what you want and what you feel it is right.
I understand that family is important and parents can be overprotective
which can effect you getting a dog but in the end, it is you who will be
using the dog and if you feel like you're ready for one then go for it! You
could probably back out during training if you don't think you want a dog
after all. It does seem like it will be a huge responsibility and a big
change in your life, but if you're a dog person, and you want to try
something different mobility wise, then I think a dog would be awesome!
HTH, Hannah

I'm having conflicting feelings, wheather or not a guide dog is right for
me. On the one hand, a guide dog is a mobility aid, but on the other hand,
you have to care for the dog. Some in my family want me to get a dog while
others feel I shouldn't. I want to do what is best for me. RJ
