Makes me laugh every time. Please greet Herr Franck for me auf Deutsch if you can. I like how you refer to this game as touch the Tony. Makes me laugh every time.

Welcome to Jersey, boy. We don't announce no stinkin' stops! LOL! This is the bane of our existence, these bus drivers who wave the union rules at us and say the union says they don't hafta. Ha ha, in NYC, they changed the union rules. Now they hafta. But it's almost a moot point here now. Bus, subway, and rail stops are all announced by some fancy automation system that seems to know where they are and when to announce the stop. Possibly GPS is involved, for the buses anyway. Wouldn't ya just give a million dog-biscuits to get into Rory's head and find out why she didn't like Tony? Glad she's working through it. Interesting behavior modification training, that clicker stuff. Well, welcome to day 20, another cold one, relatively speaking. Bet when you packed to come east, you never expected crummy weather like this. Guess what, neither did we! Keep up the great work! Stop announcements? Welcome to Jersey, boy.

I've never heard of a guide-dog school doing that, ever. Talk about commitment to one's clientele. While you're there for the extra week, will you be in the company of a class, or pretty much by yourself? I think that’s damn impressive that they will keep you on for the extra time you missed.

I'm finding this all very interesting. I am hopefully not too far away from training with my second dog as Freddie, my current will retire very shortly. I'm glad your sharing the good as well as the bad. Lets face it, training with a new dog is hard. Physically, mentally and indeed imotionally. Your painting a very realistic picture of the entire process. Lets continue to hope that the outcome at the end will be posative for you. Good luck with it. Jeff,

The Eye is the first school I've ever heard of that actually trains dogs to tolerate them. Also, a very little thing you mentioned caught my attention--that your food is brought to you at FWB time (feed, water and break). Interesting how everybody does some of the littlest things differently. And about those pictures ... (ha ha) ... when you can, please post them up. Lots of significant-others want to see! Keep up the great work. This blogging thing is making me feel more than a little like I'm going through it along with you vicariously . Interesting about the bootie thing.
