Marie, You live in a place where you will really enjoy dogdum. I have
worked my dogs in woods, camp grounds, airports, busy downtown streets, and
it goes on. Oh yes, I've done all that with the big stick as well, but dogs
are way much more fun, and there is a whole lot less tension.
I used a white cane until age 27, and for just over two years since dog
number five due to a fluctuating balance problem which seems to have
stabilized though it is still there. So, my ability to walk in straight
lines is not quite as good as it once was but, since things are stabilizing,
I can develop strategies for handling the situation. So, I hope to be
dogging it again by next May or June, sooner if some trainee doesn't make it
since I am retired.
Doug: I make this noise by rubbing my hind legs together.

Not sure that any dog could keep this guy in line. At least I hope not
because if there is anything that is great for all of us it is laughter.
Thanks for all the encouragement about trying out a guide dog, or
letting one try me out, whichever may be the case. I live in a suburb and
the nearest bus stop is a little over a mile from my home. so a dog to help
me get there would be just one of the uses I can think of. In addition,
there are miles of walking paths in the development which I could take
advantage of for both myself and the dog. so I guess the next step is to
contact a school and talk to someone.

Who am me?
Well: I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine, picked up a
harness and went out to dine.
Actually, I name is Sue, and how do you do.
Well, that feels so much better; now for the truth. I'm Doug Parsian
from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada eh. I've been owned by five dogs and am
waiting, pending a little medical issue being stablized for dog number six.
So, Douglas is Currently dogless.
I got my first dog guide in 1977 and went to The Seeing Eye for all my
creatures.
Things I like: fresh blooming spring mornings, hot prairie summer sun,
being outside and going somewhere, whoopee cushions, dribble glasses, and
joy buzzers. My less favourite things are wind chills below minus 30, blind
man's fog (snow), noisy environments, sour cream, blue cheese, and brussels
sprouts.
So there!
Doug: I have some tails to talk about.
