I am so happy to have found it. I'm currently in the application process to be a puppy raiser. Though giving up the puppy will be hard, I like the others in your story, am more worried about failing. I want my puppy to go all the way! What a great blog. I am so happy to have found it. I’m currently in the application process to be a puppy raiser.

I *was* lucky to have the opportunity to return to the Seeing Eye for Puppy Raiser Day. And sounds like I'll be even *luckier* if I happen to get Kristen for my instructor next time around!

LOL I've definitely had the experience of talking to someone and then finding out later that he/she was on a cell phone. How embarrassing! You're so lucky to have gone back to TSE for puppy day. I'd love to go back to TSE and see the changes. Maybe one of the o&M people will slip me in his or her suitcase. LOL One of my dorm mates is a puppy raiser for TSE, or was I guess. She's in the O&M program and wants to be an instructor at TSE one day. Maybe when you return for another dog, you'll have Kristen as an instructor.

For almost ten years now I have experienced people walking down the street saying "hello!" and when I'd respond I'd get no answer -- it took a while for me to figure this out at first. They were on a phone! Nowadays when someone on the street says hello, I respond with a smile but don't answer. Yikes. I wonder if some people think I'm, you know...RUDE!

What bugs me the most (well, one of the things) is when people use those earpods and walk around talking to people that aren't there. I never know if they're talking to me, or maybe talking to themselves.
