Sorry folks but I just have to share this. So I'm looking at more details about the guide dog school and I came across this on the website:
Quote:
Photographs
At no cost to you, Guiding Eyes provides:
A group photo of your class
An individual photo of you and your dog, with 8 wallet sized prints. Additional prints may be purchased through the School for fifteen ($15) dollars per 8 x 10, ten ($10) dollars per 5 x 7 of your class, or a minimum of 8 wallet sized prints for ten ($10) dollars.
A videotape of the graduation ceremony (sent within a few months after you return home). Videotape copies are available at $10 each.
Is it just me or is there something seriously ironic about this? They provide a bunch of photos to a class of blind people free of charge? Save your money, people! Let sighted relatives pay if they care enough!
Note to self: Remember to __Put the trash out_______________ ?
I did!
Bonus Question:
Is there something you really enjoy doing that most folks dislike doing ?
Probably not!
Extra Credit Question:
How many "throw"/decorative pillows do you have on your
Couch ?
Bed ?
Several!
Just for Fun:
Fess up are you a bubble wrap popper ?
sometimes!

Not everyone is completely blind. Guide dogs can be like a member of the family, so some people want these photos to remember and to share with sighted family members.
Also I know people who raise pups for these places. Volunteers who care for and do preliminary training for the dog's first year of life get photos as a remembrance of the guide dog they helped train.
Note to self: Remember to book a table at our favorite Chinese restaurant for Saturday.
Bonus Question:
Is there something you really enjoy doing that most folks dislike doing ? Reading and sleeping. At least both hobbies aren't very popular among my friends.
Extra Credit Question:
How many "throw"/decorative pillows do you have on your
Couch ? 4 but they are less for decoration purposes than for using. Bed ? No decorative/throw pillows, just the ones we really use.
Note to self: Remember to mail the package to my friend today!
