[nagdu] Getting a Guide Dog Soon!

[Elise Berkley]

Hello, Helga.  I agree with Maryann (I hope I spelled that correctly.)  My 
school gives financial aid for vet services, when needed.  I am not sure how 
much it is.  Also, some stores will give discounts for food for guide dogs 
and other items.  I would check around at nearby pet stores and see what 
kind of offers they have for guide dog owners.  Good luck with your 
application.

Hi everyone! How are you all? I'm getting a guide dog soon! I did not apply 
yet, but i'm going to apply this weekend to the school or next week! But 
first I wanted to ask you all some questions. I'm concerned about some 
things. I know that wen you have a guide dog you have to be very responsible 
and be able to take good care of him or her, and you guys really inspire me 
a lot! My OM instructor told me that I'm ready in order to get a guide dog, 
but my concerns and also my family are vet expenses and be able to provide 
for the dog! I currently lieve on an appartment, and I go to school and I 
don't work yet, but i do have SSI. However, my family and i have money to 
sustain ourselves, but I'm not so sure that I'm going to be able to sustain 
the dog so well. You know vet expenses and food, toys, and many other 
things! Do you know if there is a dog insurance or some kind of program that 
can help me with all these matters untill I get good finantial income? I'm 
just owndering since I really want to ahve a dog, and I'm ready for it! And 
I'm going to apply to Southeastern Guide Dog school! I will really 
appreciate it a lot if you can help me with these matters! Hope to hear form 
you soon. Thanks os much and God bless!
