Calvin Week

This is my 100th blog post and tomorrow marks a year since I started training with Calvin. So, I’ve decided to dedicate this week to Guide Dog ownership. Check back daily to find fun and serious posts about mine and Calvin’s partnership.

This is not only a good opportunity to evaluate my first year as a Guide Dog owner, but hopefully enlighten others on what it entails.

See you tomorrow...

Hi Selina, really loving the series on guidedogs, brought many smiles to my face! I wondered if you could tackle a small question of mine: see, despite being blind all my life, I really don’t know much about guidedogs! Of course I’ve seen friends with them and so on, and read all your posts which has helped, but how do you really know if a guidedog is for you? What persuaded you to have one? Were you able to do any kind of ‘taster sessions or something to get a feel for how things would work? Maybe this could be a post on its own, but would be interested to hear your experiences!
Take care, and yeah: congrats on the 100th post, here’s to many more!

I'm going to do a couple more top 10 blog posts and then on Sunday plan to write an extended review of Guide Dog ownership. What it's like, what I thought it was going to be like and the type of people I believe a Guide Dog would suit. I'll try and answer your questions within that!

Right now I have an assignment to write on Great Expectations, which i'm avoiding very well!
