Ok, so maybe that title got yanked straight out of an IM window, but that’s alright. When emails like the following drop into your inbox and then get forwarded, that’s what kind of response you get via IM.

a month home with cleveland.

June 21, 2012 by stickbear 1 Comment

It’s been a month since I was a member of graduating class OR227 of guidedogs for the blind, Oregon campus and returned home with my knew guidedog, a yellow labrador golden cross Cleveland.
It’s been a month of adjustment for not only myself and for cleveland, but for those I associate with professionally and personally.
It’s been a learning experience for some, an adjustment for others, and a learning experience for us as a team, as well.
Has it been a perfict month? No, it most certainly has not.
It’s been rot with issues, trials, tribulations and it’s fair share of oh my god he still does work!
It’s also been full of knew experiences, and relizations of hey, wait, I don’t have to watch for that pole anymore, as well as figuring out the best way to teach cleveland specific things I need him to target/watch for.
It’s just the beginning of the relationship, and I don’t know why I didn’t completely follow through with this years ago.
Thanks to the staff of GDB, cleveland’s puppy raisers, my community here at home, and the community of GDB alumni and to the members of GDB related lists I’m on, as well as you, the faithful blog reader for being there, and for partaking in this new adventure I’m on.
It’s the outpouring of support from the organization that makes me continue to know that GDB was the best choice for me when it came time to get a dog.
A reminder, Guide dogs for the blind is a non proffet organization, supported entirely by donations.
It receives no federal, state, or munniciple funding to operate both campuses.
Your support would be appreciated.
To donate, or for more information on GDB and it’s mission, please visit
there website.
Thank you for reading, and have a great day.

Hey all;
As a way to combat spam, and to make sure not even those fools that get around my spam measures, have you some basic math skills.
If you don’t know basic edition, subtraction, etc. and comment without answering the question? Your comment won’t go through.
Enjoy 403 errors for those of you without basic math skills.
