Kitty, Gretch has been fine with this intersection ever since her
original period of being uncomfortable with serious guide work in
general when I brought her home in March of 2006. until last Thursday.
As I mentioned before, the combination of heat and wind which I know
could have been the catalyst on another meltdown day over a year ago
now, and repercussions from the recent truck incident in my driveway may
have somehow combined in Gretch's mind to cause her to behave as she
did. It has also been suggested that as a result she simply decided to
see if she could get away with being disobedient because she didn't want
to guide me across those streets at those particular times last Thursday
which is another possibility, as the mild correction I administered did
in fact get her to move forward, although doing so unsafely by bowing
with all her little frightened reticent heart.

sheila, Does Gretchin only have the problem at this intersection/ After
reading your subsequent posts, it sounds like she does okay in other
places.
How does she do at the intersection when it is not windy or the
combination
of windy and hot? I also wonder if perhaps something had happened at
the
intersection ie, perhaps there had been an earlier accident and they
still
had some safety cones in the intersection, could they have been redoing
the
crosswalk lines?

Because of Gretch's much more reasonable behavior everywhere since the
morning and evening encounters with the scary intersection at Warnall
and Gregory on Thursday, I don't believe her issues are health related,
but I will still have her thoroughly checked out by my vet soon. Isn't
Warnall an ugly name?

If its the wind that is making things worse.. maybe an ear infection? It
is always a good idea to clear health if you get a behavior change.
