[M.D. Holloway]

She was accepted and she is now spending a few weeks being trained at the facility. She got there today (on the west coast) - flew by herself with assistance. That white cane is like a light saber or the staff of Moses! Thing can part a sea people like it was on fire.

She is staying there and will get her dog. No idea what flavor, make or model. Good chance it's a Lab. She has a few blind friends that have dogs. One Lab, one Golden. I'm betting it's gonna be a Lab.

The dog will be about 18 months old. These creatures are amazing. The training as well as genetic profiling that goes into it is staggering.

Being blind sucks but at least she is taking steps. She is learning braile, doing some training on a special lap top I got her (no not a Mac) and is trying to take control of this.

Should be very interesting. She needs to establish her independence and move on with life. The dog will help big time with mobility. Where we live (Stomachmonkey can attest ) is foot accessible to anything you can imagine.
