Well we've just had a wonderful weekend with Izzy and I think the key words really summing up the weekend have been orientation skills, fun and the integration of Izzy into your lifestyle. I think that there's some interesting issues that have arisen. Firstly on the orientation skills. When I first thought of having a dog, I think I erroneously thought that basically I would rely on the dog to do ost of the work and decision making! the dog would do everything and that basically all I would do is walk along behind her. I wouldn't need to use most of the other techniques and skills I had built up over the past 50 years using a white cane.
