Jen,

I don't know what that is like from a personal standpoint but I've been
around those who have experienced what you are facing, Vicki probably the
closest to us, and I know it is the hardest thing a person must go through.
I'm praying.

Phil.

Hi all.

I write this with a heave scared heart.  Yesterday, I came to a sad
realization... a hard thing to realize.  Star, my seeing eye dog has been
extremely afraid of riding in a car, bus, or any vehicle since Detroit.  I
think I've told you all about this.  Anyway... it's gotten worse.  Someone
from the school is coming out to visit us for the second time on Thursday.
He is going to bring something called a calming hood, and this is my last
resort.  If all doesn't go well, I'm going to have to retire her.  It's
tearing me up!  She's a great dog... a great worker!  But I hate making her
face her worst fear twice a day for an hour, sometimes each way.  Please
pray that this calming hood works.  I've tried vitamins, but can't do
anything stronger because I need her to work possibly 45 minutes after we
start!  So, please pray for us for Thursday!  Retiring her will not be easy
at all!  I didn't think that after Claudia... my first guide... I'd be able
to find a place for another guide, but I have!
