[nagdu] Follow-up visit from hell!

[Nicole Torcolini]

Sometimes, it happens. Usually, it is the opposite. You are having a problem
and have a representative come to help you; however, the dog knows that it
is a trainer and is on his/her best behavior and does not give you a chance
to work on the problem.
	Last Friday, one of the field reps from GDB came to see Lexia and I.
Luckily, she was really good natured. The field rep got to my apartment
before I got home from work, so we went inside when I got home in order to
let Lexia have a drink and rest for a minute before going for a walk.
Immediately  upon removing the harness and leash, Lexia did her lab
explosion where she goes flying around the apartment. I about died.

So, 8 months after graduation, we had a lovely follow-up visit with the
guide dog school....
And the follow-up went.... um.... badly.

Starts off: Jenny does an abrupt veer-off to go take a massive dump in the
grass... even though she's already gone out two hours before.
it starts raining, and Jenny's wearing her brand-new raincoat.  During the
whole walk, she gets scroungy, distracted by a dog... even veers slightly
during a busy street crossing!

I am So discouraged right now it isn't even funny!  The instructor was
lovely and supportive, but OMG!  My dog is better than all this!
