Return Home
Journey to a Seeing Eye dog

I crashed last night and slept fairly hard. Woke up at park feed water time, she did both. Then got laundry done and groomed her after getting ready. Breakfast I had bacon, toast, and coke. Then we were first trip, and did another Elm Street. The route went really well. Then headed back to the house and have a bit of down time until water park time. I talked to Angela, which was really nice. I'm feeling a lot of emotion today, and I'm honestly not even sure why. Nothing bad is happening, I just feel emotional which is weird and strange and my instinct is to suppress it yet I'm trying not to because I know logically there is nothing wrong with emotions and all that. Then we had water park, she did both. I know I'm not gonna have to worry about flies or anything else that flies around because she finds them and gulp, gone. I'm not sure how great that is for her, but as I hate things that fly, I approve. Then we had class and individual pictures. Lunch was dejon encrusted chicken, very good, rice, broccoli, and coke. Then I had a meeting with BIT, and then another one with DHS, and now I just have some free time until JT gets back. JT came by and we did a set of obedience, then Jim came by and we talked about harnesses, and now I have more fre time until feed water park. I am so very greatful to The Seeing Eye for giving me another chance, for believing in me, for taking a $75000 chance on me. Its a lot to ask especially with all I've been through but I am very greatful. Ellie is everything I could have asked for in a guide, and more. She's a friend. She is so careful with me, she knows I have a fear of falling. Is she perfect? No, but neither am I or anyone else. She is truely amazing and exactly what I need in a dog at this point in my life. We had feed water park, she peed. I had dinner in my room because I had a job interview. I had steak, baked potato, green beans, roll and Dr. Pepper. The interview wnet well and I'll find out sometime between mid and late August if I got the job or not. Then I took a bath, and then decided to go up to the common lounge because someone had been knocking on my door and I was wondering who, and ended up playing several rounds of Uno with Karen, Margie, Hayes, Matt, Aspen, and Amy. Then came back down for water park. Tomorrow is our Elm Street solo but since its modified I'm calling it the long south solo.
