SG> hi henry I enjoyed your message to vixen about guide dogs. I
SG> got my dog from the guide dog foundation. They don't have a
SG> pleasure trail there. They have a run area but not a pleasure
SG> area. I am going to suggest they put one in. I feel you spend
SG> too much time sitting on your can when in guide dog school.
STeve,
You bring up a very good point, I wonder if anyone has any ideas about
how this down time could be used more productively. I got my dog from
Leader and they had play pens that were about 30 feet long and 20 feet
wide and when we were not working thats where i spent mostof my time.
Most of the other people in the class never used these pens. I think it
did alot for the bonding process for me to play with the dog. tom G

I love playing with the dog. I tell you when I was not working in
guide dog school I read five issues of popular mechanics and national
geographic. The first day or shall I say the first two days we had to
sit around the dormatories wheile they conducted various interviews and
that sort of thing. My fanny was sore from sitting that I nearly went
crazy. intirely to much sitting around.

I agree with you about the leisure path. It is a good idea and I may
mention it to John Biegel too. I like the run area too though. It was
great to have a fenced-in area where we could let the dogs loose to play.
My roommate and I used to go out there together with our dogs and it was
great. When I was at Seeing Eye, I frequented the leisure path a lot.
It seems like all of the schools have good things and it's too bad they
can't just share ideas more. I think they are starting to do that to
some extent since I believe they have semi-annual meetings of all of the
schools.
