[nagdu] Reply to Tammy and Sanchez

[Jimmy]

Greetings!
I wanted to respond to Tammy who wanted info on our guides. I have a most handsome shepherd named Shep. He is my first guide dog and I now look back and don't see  going a day without him. He is my partner and my friend. Shep turned 2 in Spetember. I received him from The Seeing Eye in June of this year. Even though this  was my first experience, I was extremely impressed with the knowledge, facility, professionalism, and training I received. Their 84 years of experience is clearly visible and discerned. 
In response to  Sanchez:
I am glad you were able to attain your harness pouch from GDUI. My question is" Does anyone know of any other provider of that same pouch that Sanchez purchased? I have not been able to find a seller as of yet. My personal recent observation of GDUI  has not impressed me. They are currently not able to sell the pouch or any other items. Speaking to them regarding a purchase and getting information on their organization , as well as advocacy issues, I sensed  a unorganized, lack of  current and accurate knowledge of laws and procedures. I stress this is only my personal opinion,observation, and experience  as of late.I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable week.I hope no one's  dog gets blown away.
Latly, I again would like to briefly mention if anyone is from the Tennessee area or knows of guide dog users in Tennessee, please get in contact with me as we work on developing a chapter in our state. My email is jimmydagerman80 at gmail.com. Thanks and best to all.
